Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life) Green Day nimrod. (1997) Lyrics: Billie Joe Armstrong Music: Green Day Tuning: Normal Notes: Obviously on an acoustic guitar, no bass or drums, but string section in later parts. If you don't feel like emulating Billie's picking and strumming patterns, just strum the chords and it should work fine. This may not be the exact picking pattern, but it's close enough. h = hammer-on p = pull-off b = bend / = slide up \ = slide down 5 = power chord Chords G C Cadd9 D Em e|-3----0----0-----2-----0---------------------------------------| B|-3----1----3-----3-----0---------------------------------------| G|-0----0----0-----2-----0---------------------------------------| D|-0----2----2-----0-----2---------------------------------------| A|-2----3----3-----0-----2---------------------------------------| E|-3---------------------0---------------------------------------| Intro G "Fuck" e|---------------------------------------------------------------| B|-------0--------------0----------------------------------------| G|----------0--------------0-------------------------------------| D|---------------------------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------------| E|-3--3-----------3--3-------------------------------------------| Verse (x4, vocals come in on 3rd time) G Cadd9 D e|---------------------------------------------------------------| B|-------3--------------3--------------3--------------3----------| G|----------0---0----------0---0----------0---0----------2---2---| D|------------0--------------0--------------2---0--0-------0-----| A|-------------------------------3--3----------------------------| E|-3--3-----------3--3-------------------------------------------| Pre-Chorus (x2) Em D C G e|---------------------------------------------------------------| B|-------0--------------3--------------1--------------3----------| G|----------0---0----------2---0----------0---0----------0---0---| D|-2--2-------2---0--0-------0--------------2--------------0-----| A|-------------------------------3--3----------------------------| E|----------------------------------------------3--3-------------| Chorus Em G (x2) Em D e|---------------------------------------------------------------| B|-------0--------------3--------------0--------------3----------| G|----------0---0----------0---0----------0---0----------2---2---| D|------------2--------------0--------------2---0--0-------0-----| A|---------------------------------------------------------------| E|-0--0-----------3--3-----------0--0----------------------------| End D G e|-----------3---------------------------------------------------| B|-----------3---------------------------------------------------| G|-2--2------0---------------------------------------------------| D|-------0---0---------------------------------------------------| A|-----------2---------------------------------------------------| E|-----------3---------------------------------------------------| Order Intro Verse 1 (picked) Pre-Chorus 1 (picked) Chorus (picked) Verse 2 (strummed) Pre-Chorus 2 (strummed) Chorus (strummed) Bridge (verse & pre-chorus chords strummed) Chorus (strummed) Verse chords x2 (strummed) Chorus (picked) End Lyrics Another turning point A fork stuck in the road (Verse 1) Time grabs you by the wrist Directs you where to go So make the best of this test And don't ask why (Pre-Chorus 1) It's not a question But a lesson learned in time It's something unpredictable But in the end it's right (Chorus) I hope you had the time of your life So take the photographs And still-frames in your mind Hanging on a shelf (Verse 2) In good health and good times Tattoos and memories And dead skin on trial for what it's worth (Pre-Chorus 2) It was worth all the while (Chorus) (Bridge) (Chorus x2)
