The Grouch chords version by Green Day.

I saw this song in tab on OLGA and thought it incredibly difficult. Here

is my transcription of it which I hope you find a lot easier!!!

This song is one of the easiest I know to play so here goes..

At the beginning it goes

A E A D A D E

/// /// /// /// /// /// /

The words are:

I was a young buy that had big plans

Now Im just another shitty old man

I don't have fun and I hate everything

The world owes me so fuck you

Glory days don't mean shit to me

I drunk/took a six pack of apathy

Life's a bitch and so am I

The world owes me so fuck you

Then the pattern stays the same through the first bit of the chorus but

at the point where Billie and Mike sing together:

"I had a young and optimistic point of view"

F#m D A E

//// / //// ///

(by the way / means to play the chord)

and for you who dont know F# is a bar chord. You play the E-shape on the

second fret but lift up your second finger.

Then the next verse is the same music wise but the words are:

I've decomposed yet my gut's getting fat

Oh my god Im turning out like my dad

Im always rude I've got a bad attitude

The world owes me so fuck you

The wifes a nag and the kids fucking up

I don't have sex 'cos I can't get it up

Im just a grouch sitting on the couch

The world owes me so fuck you

The world owes me so fuck you.

The world owes me so fuck youuuuu

and end on a D.
