Haushinka Green Day nimrod. (1997) Lyrics: Billie Joe Armstrong Music: Green Day Tuning: Normal Notes: This is a rather odd song, there are 2 distinct guitar parts through the whole song, often playing very different riffs. The interlude is a faster, normal-tuning version of Walking Contradiction. Most of this tab was taken from Mike (kcobain13@hotmail.com)'s nimrod album tab. The intro fades in from Jinx. h = hammer-on p = pull-off b = bend / = slide up \ = slide down 5 = power chord Intro (repeat many times through verse) C5 D5 e|---------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------------| G|-5--7----------------------------------------------------------| D|-5--7----------------------------------------------------------| A|-3--5----------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------| Verse (guitar 1 play this, guitar 2 play intro) (going into chorus) C5 G5 e|-2-------3-------5-------3-------------------------------------| B|----3-------3-------3-------3----------------------------------| G|-----------------------------------------------------5---------| D|-----------------------------------------------------5----5----| A|-----------------------------------------------------3----5----| E|----------------------------------------------------------3----| Chorus (guitar 1) D5 C5 G5 F5 G5 e|---------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------------| G|-7----5--------------------------------------------------------| D|-7----5----5----3---5------------------------------------------| A|-5----3----5----3---5------------------------------------------| E|-----------3----1---3------------------------------------------| (guitar 2, in background) F5 G5 F5 G5 A5 e|---------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------------| G|---------------------------------------------------------------| D|-3--5--3--5--7-------------------------------------------------| A|-3--5--3--5--7-------------------------------------------------| E|-1--3--1--3--5-------------------------------------------------| Bridge (x2) B5 A5 F#5-G5 B5 A5 G5 e|---------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------------| G|---------------------------------------------------------------| D|-9----7----4/5--4/5----9----7----5-----------------------------| A|-9----7----4/5--4/5----9----7----5-----------------------------| E|-7----5----2/3--2/3----7----5----3-----------------------------| Interlude A5 D5 G5 A5 e|---------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------------| G|------7--------------------------------------------------------| D|-7----7----5----7----------------------------------------------| A|-7----5----5----7----------------------------------------------| E|-5---------3----5----------------------------------------------| Solo E|---------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------------| G|5-5-7-7-8-8-7-7-5-5-7-7-8-8-7-7-4-4-5-5-7-7-5-5-4-4-5-5-7-7-5-5| D|5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4| A|---------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------------| G|5-5-7-7-8-8-7-7-5-5-7-7-8-8-7-7-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8| D|5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5| A|---------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------| Order Intro Verse 1 Chorus Verse 2 Chorus Bridge Interlude Solo Chorus End on A5 Lyrics Haushinka is a girl with a peculiar name I met her on the eve of my birthday Did she know, did she know (Verse 1) Before she went away Does she know, but it's too damn late This girl has gone far away, now she's gone (Chorus) All I have now is a memory to date A cheap hat and cigarettes, and a peculiar name I didn't know, I didn't know (Verse 2) Before she went away I know now, I know now, and it's too damn late (Chorus) Will she ever find her way? I'm too damn young to be late, but am I? Yet again, I'm kicking myself (Bridge) And I'll be here in battle scars Waiting for you, waiting for you now (Interlude) (Solo) (Chorus)
