  My Generation
  as covered by Green Day
  
  This starts in the key of F# minor, and I've got as much information here as
  possible. The only thing missing is that darn bass solo in the solo breaks.
  
  F# E F# E x2
  
  begin Verse:
  F# (stop)                  F#                     E    
  Well, people try to put us down. (Talkin' bout my generation.)
  
  F# (stop)                   F#              E
  Just because we get around. (Talkin' bout my generation.)
  
  F# (stop)                     F#                     E
  The things they do look awful cold. (Talkin' bout my generation.)
  
  F# (stop)                       F#              E
  I hope I die before I get old. (Talkin' bout my generation.)
  
  F# E F# E x2
  My generation.
  
  Verse 2 (same chords):
  
  Why don't you all just fade away? (Talkin' bout my generation.)
  And don't try to dig what we all say. (Talkin' bout my generation.)
  I'm not trying to cause a big sensation. (Talkin' bout my generation.)
  I'm just talkin' bout my generation. (Talkin' bout my generation.)
  
  Chorus
  
  Bridge:
  
  F# E F# E F# (stop)
  Guitar:
  
  E: |-----------------------------|
  B: |----7-7----7-7---------------|
  G: |-/6-----/6-----4-4h6p4-------|
  D: |-----------------------4-7~~-|
  A: |-----------------------------|
  E: |-----------------------------|
  
  F# E F# E F# (stop)
  Bass solo...
  
  F# E F# E F# (stop)
  Drum solo
  
  F# E F# E F# (stop)
  *crash* Man, you can fuck that shit!
  
  F# E F# E x2
  
  Repeat Verse 2 with key change G#, F#, G# with same lyrics.
  
  Chorus with chords G#, F#, G#.
  
  Then key change to Bb (chords: Bb, G#) over solo:
  
  E: |--------------------------|
  B: |-4------4------4------4---|
  G: |-6b8----6b8----6b8----6b8-|
  then you just use the Bb minor pentatonic scale...Billie goes to fast for
  me to tab out the entire solo, but there are a could main themes, the above
  bend being one, and
  
  E: |-----6-9b-9b-9b-|
  B: |-6-9------------|
  G: |----------------|
  
  being another. The solo however, is only in Bb minor pent. at the 6th fret
  position:
      6th  7   8   9
  E: |-x-|---|---|-x-|
  B: |-x-|---|---|-x-|
  G: |-x-|---|-x-|---|
  D: |-x-|---|-x-|---|
  A: |-x-|---|-x-|---|
  E: |-x-|---|---|-x-|
  
  Just go wild; do a lot of pulling, hammering and bending.
  
  Then end in a glorious haze of feedback and spasticness...or just kinda
  fizzle out like on the record.
