The Grouch chords by Green Day

This is version of "The Grouch" is a bit more right. Some other versions aren't very correct,
so I guess it should help (I heard that before... :).

Chords used:

	E A D G B e
A	5 7 7 - - -
D	- 5 7 7 - -
e	0 2 2 - - -
E	- 7 9 9 - -
F#	2 4 4 - - -
D#	- 6 8 8 - -

This is the main play:
	A - e - A - D - A - e - D - e - A - e - A - D - A - e - A

This is the chorus part:
	(F#- D - A - e - F#- D - A - E) x2

Let's go now to the lyrics:
(there is some space between the chords for they match with the lyrics)
