  This is tabbed by ear but it and the lyrics are pretty close. I had a hard
  time tabbing this
   'cause you can barely hear the guitar on the song.

  Armatage Shanks (aka "Claustrophobic Mind")
  Green Day
  
  With some additional research, I uncovered this.  Here are the real lyrics to
  the song I thought was
  called "Claustrophobic Mind".  It's real title is "Armatage Shanks" and I
  guess it was performed at
  the 1994 MTV Video Music Awards.  Sorry about the goof up.  -Adam
  
  
  Stranded
  Lost inside myself
  I always have been my own closest enemy
  Well I'm branded
  Maladjusted
  Never trusted anyone out of myself
  
  Why am I a sensation
  Being a pesimist
  I'm a loner in a claustrophobic mind
  
  Erected
  Feel rejected
  I'm prepared to silence all 3 in a year
  Well I'm branded
  Maladjusted
  Never trusted anyone out of myself
  
  I must insist
  On being a pesimist
  I'm a loner in a claustrophobic mind
  
  Whoa oh, whoa oh
  
  Branded
  Lost inside myself
  I always have been my own closest enemy
  Well I'm branded
  Maladjusted
  Never trusted anyone out of myself
  
  Why am I a sensation
  Being a pesimist
  I'm a loner in a claustrophobic mind
  Well I'm taking pressure for other pessimists
  I'm a loner in a claustrophobic mind

  Claustrophobic Mind-  GREEN DAY
  tabbed by Adam Peiken 
  
  Here's a tab for only the truest of Green Day fans.  This song is only played
  at concerts,
  and as of August '95, I have never seen it in release (even on imports).  With
  some luck,
  this song will show up on Green Day's new album, along with "Geek Stink Love",
  another great rarity.  The lyrics (and the title) are guesses.
  
  INTRO:
  
  (downstroke 8'th notes)                 (into verse, fast succession)
  Eb--------------------------------   Eb-C#-C-Bb
  
  VERSE:
  
  G#       C#
  Stranded,
  G#                      C#
  Lost inside myself.
               F         C#                     Eb
  I always had my emotions in demand.
  G#       C#
  Tragic,
  G#       C#
  A rejection.
             F              C#                   Eb
  I never trusted anyone besides myself.
  
  CHORUS:
  
  C#              G#                  Eb               G#
  I must have said something to get in this mess,
           C#          G#                  Eb                              X2
  I'm a loner in a claustrophobic mind.
  
  BRIDGE:    X2 			
  G#      F			
  Yeah, yeah		
  G#     F                     		
  Yeah, yeah			
  			
  C#    Eb
  
  There is another verse using the same chords.
  The first verse is repeated again later in the song.
  End on an Eb.  If you download this, take a minute
  write me.  I'm curious how many people have
  heard of this or know where to find it.  Thanks.
  -Adam 
  
  BTW-  My mail program doesn't always work right, and the spacing 
  might be a bit off. Sorry.
