Green Day - Longview 100% Correct guitar tab
This is a great song off another great Green Day album and their
best one in my opinion. There is some cool guitar in here but the
rest is a great bass line that makes the song worth all the waiting
on the guitar to come in, here is the exact guitar part to Longview:
Regular Tuning:
The first part the guitar does a nice little pick slide to start
off the song with the drums doing some floor tom shit in the background

At this part the bass does its little bass thing while there is
some singing in the background:
I sit around and watch the tube but nothing's on
I change the channels for an hour or two
Twiddle my thumbs just for a bit
I'm sick of all the same old shit
In a house with unlocked doors
And I'm fucking lazy
Pre-chorus

-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7--5-5-5---------
Bite my lip and close my eyes
Take me away to paradise
I'm so damn bored I'm going blind
And I smell like shit
Then the guitar stops and rests while the bass plays its part
during the verse.
Verse 2

-R--------------R-
-E--------------E-
-S--------------S-
-T--------------T-
------------------
Peel me off this velcro seat and get me moving
I sure as hell can't do it by myself
I'm feeling like a dog in heat
Barred indoors from the summer street
I locked the door to my own cell
And I lost the key
Then the Pre-chorus

Bite my lip and close my eyes
Take me away to paradise
I'm so damn bored I'm going blind
And I smell like shit
Then there is a little one time bridge thing that happens with
some singing in the background then after you play the chorus
guitar part but with no singing.

I got no motivation
Where is my motivation
No time for the motivation
Smoking my inspiration
Then its one more round of the verse ( I told you that song was different
from all other Green Day songs, and the best part is coming up, ha)

Bite my lip and close my eyes
Take me away to paradise
I'm so damn bored I'm going blind
And loneliness has to suffice
Bite my lip and close my eyes
I'm slipping away to paradise
Some say "Quit or I'll go blind"
But it's just a myth
Then play the outro and Fade out, sweet eh!
