Good Riddance (Time of you life)
Green Day
I think this a slightly more accurate tab of Good Riddance based on the tab
from quicksannd@aol.com.
Normal tuning - EADGBE
note 1: The high E string is not used at all, but you might want to keep
your little finger on fret 3 as playing that accidentally shouldn`t
affect the sound too bad as it could be part of every chord used.
note 2: Following the first chorus, strumming is used more than picking -
listen to the record to hear what I mean. However, the picking of
the B string followed by the G string before each chord change
remains pretty constant.

Verse 2
-------
So take the photographs and still frames in your mind,
Hang them on a shelf in good health and good time,
Tattoos of memories and dead skin on trial,
For what it’s worth it was worth all the while.
