My Generation

as covered by Green Day

This starts in the key of F# minor, and I've got as much information here as

possible. The only thing missing is that darn bass solo in the solo breaks.

F# E F# E x2

begin Verse:

F# (stop) F# E

Well, people try to put us down. (Talkin' bout my generation.)

F# (stop) F# E

Just because we get around. (Talkin' bout my generation.)

F# (stop) F# E

The things they do look awful cold. (Talkin' bout my generation.)

F# (stop) F# E

I hope I die before I get old. (Talkin' bout my generation.)

F# E F# E x2

My generation.

Verse 2 (same chords):

Why don't you all just fade away? (Talkin' bout my generation.)

And don't try to dig what we all say. (Talkin' bout my generation.)

I'm not trying to cause a big sensation. (Talkin' bout my generation.)

I'm just talkin' bout my generation. (Talkin' bout my generation.)

Chorus

Bridge:

F# E F# E F# (stop)

Guitar:

E: |-----------------------------|

B: |----7-7----7-7---------------|

G: |-/6-----/6-----4-4h6p4-------|

D: |-----------------------4-7~~-|

A: |-----------------------------|

E: |-----------------------------|

F# E F# E F# (stop)

Bass solo...

F# E F# E F# (stop)

Drum solo

F# E F# E F# (stop)

*crash* Man, you can fuck that shit!

F# E F# E x2

Repeat Verse 2 with key change G#, F#, G# with same lyrics.

Chorus with chords G#, F#, G#.

Then key change to Bb (chords: Bb, G#) over solo:

E: |--------------------------|

B: |-4------4------4------4---|

G: |-6b8----6b8----6b8----6b8-|

then you just use the Bb minor pentatonic scale...Billie goes to fast for

me to tab out the entire solo, but there are a could main themes, the above

bend being one, and

E: |-----6-9b-9b-9b-|

B: |-6-9------------|

G: |----------------|

being another. The solo however, is only in Bb minor pent. at the 6th fret

position:

6th 7 8 9

E: |-x-|---|---|-x-|

B: |-x-|---|---|-x-|

G: |-x-|---|-x-|---|

D: |-x-|---|-x-|---|

A: |-x-|---|-x-|---|

E: |-x-|---|---|-x-|

Just go wild; do a lot of pulling, hammering and bending.

Then end in a glorious haze of feedback and spasticness...or just kinda

fizzle out like on the record.
