  I decided to correct and format the existing TAB of this song.
  Mucho thanks to miller6@aol.com. Follows is the corrected TAB,
  plus some bass TAB.
  
  Here is yet another awesome Green Day song from Kerplunk! that was 
  posted in an ftp, but it was missing key parts needed to play the 
  song, so I have added them so you can play the whole song. This is 
  NOT IN STANDARD TUNING!!! If you want to play it right you HAVE TO 
  tune down a half step, because the E is open. NOTE: You do tune down
  one half-step, BUT you still play the chord names as if you were in
  standard tuning:
  
  B:  x244xx
  E:  022xxx
  F#: 244xxx
  etc...
  (looks best in Courier)
  
  
  
  Intro: B B F# G# F#   Play that 4x for intro
  
  
  Intro and Verse bass TAB looks like this:
  
  -----------------------------|----------------------------|
  -----------------------------|---------4------------------|
  -2--2--2-----------------2-4-|-2--2--2----------------2-4-| repeat,etc.
  ---------2--4---2-2--2-4-----|------------4---2-2--2-4----|
  
  
  Verse 1:
  
    B    F#
  
  I sit alone in my bedroom
  
  B              F#
  
  Staring at the walls
  
       B       F#
  
  I've been up all damn night long
  
  B                    F#
  
  My pulse is speeding, my love is yearning
  
  
  
  Chorus:
  
  G#                   B
  
  I hold my breath and close my eyes	----play-this-twice--------
  
  G#              F#                  ---------------------------
  
  And dream about her...			--34-4-4--34-4-4---------
  
  E             F#              *===>	--34-4-4--34-4-4---------
  
  Cause she's 2000 light years away   --12-2-2--12-2-2---------
  
  G#               B                  ---------------------------
  
  She holds my malakite so tight so
  
  A	     F#
  
  Never let go...
  
  E            F#               B B F# G# F# (4x)
  
  Cause she's 2000 light years away
  
  
  
  Verse 2:
  
    B                         F#
  
  I sit outside and watch the sunrise
  
  B                   F#
  
  Lookout as far as I can
  
    B                         F#
  
  I can't see her, but in the distance
  
  B                    F#
  
  I hear some laughter, we laugh together
  
  
  
  Chorus
  
  
  "Solo":
  
  Bass plays alone w/ guitar feedback in background 4x
  Last time guitar plays lick:
  
  Eb: |------7-----------|
  Bb: |---/7---7---------|
  Gb: |----------9/11----|
