Pulling Teeth
Green Day
Dookie (1994)
Lyrics: Billie Joe Armstrong
Music: Green Day
Tuning: 1/2 step down (sounds a semitone lower than written here)
Notes: This song has a bit of a countryish feel.  If you don't
want to play the B5/A, just play A5, it should sound ok.

h = hammer-on
p = pull-off
b = bend
/ = slide up
\ = slide down
5 = power chord

Lyrics

I'm all busted up
Broken bones and nasty cuts		(Verse 1)
Accidents will happen
But this time I can't get up

She comes to check on me
Making sure I'm on my knees		(Verse 2)
After all, she's the one
Who put me in this state

Is she ultra-violent?
Is she disturbed?
I better tell her that I love her	(Chorus)
Before she does it all over again
Oh God, she's killing me

For now I'll lie around
Hell that's all I can really do		(Verse 3)
She takes good care of me
Just keep saying my love is true

Lookin out my window
For someone that's passing by
No one knows I'm locked in here		(Bridge)
All I do is cry
