Notes:
This song is complicated yet simple; the chord structure is
characteristically Green Day in that there are very few chords played in
different patterns for the verse, pre-chorus, chorus, etc. Where it differs
from their other songs, however, is its dramatic shifts in style and tone
throughout. Incidentally, the song is nearly 10 minutes long, comparable in
length to rock operas like "Stairway to Heaven" and "Bohemian Rhapsody."
To date, this is Green Day's only rock opera (with the possible exception of
"Homecoming," another track on this album).
Consequently, I've broken it down into component parts, each part denoting a
shift in style or tone; these are denoted by "PART" and then a roman numeral
designating the part of the song.

Tales from another broken...home

You're leaving
You're leaving
You're leaving
You're leaving
home.

NOTES: This song makes use of a particular riff, introduced at the beginning. This
pattern is played over the chords being strummed in the background. So, when the
rhythm guitar strums the "A" chord, the lead guitar plays this riff over A, when
the background guitar plays "D", the pattern stays the same, but is then played
over "D". This pattern occurs consistently throughout the song. I'll tab out the
pattern over each chord once; after that, I'll assume the reader knows the pattern
and is playing it over the transcribed chords :)

--== Homecoming ==--
NOTE: Sorry about listing all of these chords here, but this song is like 9 minutes
long and certain parts of use different forms of the same chords. Technically,
you could ignore these and just play power chords, which would be a good enough
approximation. I'm simply including these for individuals who want to know the precise
chords (or rather, as precise as I can figure them)

Part III:
(keep strumming D for awhile; it sounds like Billie is using a flange effect)
I fell asleep
while watching
Spike TV
After 10 cups
of coffee
And your still
not here
Dreaming of a
song
But something
went wrong
And you can't
tell anyone
'Cause no one'
s here
Left me here a
lone
And I should'v
e stayed home
After 10 cups
of coffee
I'm thinking w
here'd you go
Nobody likes y
ou
Everyone left
you
They're all ou
t without you
Havin' fun
Where'd you go
?
Everyone left
you
Nobody likes y
ou
They're all ou
t without you
Havin' fun
A (no chords)
Where'd you go?
Part IV:
(apparently written and sung by Tre)
Intro:
Geez...ha...
Verse:
(has a blues-y feel to the rhythm; the pattern is a standard blues riff in A)
I got a rock a
nd roll band
I got a rock a
nd roll life
I got a rock a
nd roll girlfr
iend
And another ex
-wife
I got a rock a
nd roll house
I got a rock a
nd roll car
I play the shi
t out the drum
s
And I can play
the guitar
I got a kid in
New York
I got a kid in
the bay
I haven't dran
k or smoked no
thin'
In over 22 day
s
So get off my
case
Off of my case
Off of my case
Part V:
(very tricky rhythm here; listen closely to the timing)
(play 4x)
Here they come
marching down
the street
Like a despera
tion murmur of
a heartbeat
Coming back fr
om the edge of
town
Underneath the
ir feet
The time has c
ome and it's g
oing nowhere
Nobody ever sa
id that life w
as fair now
Go-carts and g
uns are treasu
res they will
bear
In the summer
heat
The world is s
pinning
Round and roun
d
Out of control
again
From the 7-11
to the fear of
breaking down
#
So send my lov
#
e a letterbomb
And visit me i
n hell
We're the ones
going
PART VI:
Home We're com
ing home again
Home We're com
ing home again
I started fuck
in' running
As soon as my
feet touched g
round
We're back in
barrio
And to you and
me, that's ji
ngle town
That's home We
're coming hom

Outro:
(play a "D" chord and let it ring over the "nobody likes you" voice)
Nobody likes you
Everyone left you
They're all out with out you
Havin' fun...

Notes: Guitar is "Drop D" tuned. Sounds a bit like two songs put together:
"One Headlight" by the Wallflowers, with the chorus of "Surrender" by Cheap Trick
as a bridge. But, whatever. I smoke a lot of crack.
