BEGINNERS READ THIS:

This is a simplified version of the song that only uses 4 Chords, G, D, Em and C.

This is recommended for beginner guitarist to practice the normal basic chords and 
learn the song before moving to more advanced chord progressions and styling.

You can use the chords below to play with the original Green Day version.

TAKING IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL:

For alternative chords and a more accurate sounding rhythm, replace Em with Em7, 
replace C with Cadd9 and add Dsus4 before or after any D chords that occur throughout the song. 

Most people actually find using the alternative chords easier than the version 
below, however its good practice to master the basic chords FIRST as most chord 
variations can be derived from the basic chords.
