Time of your Life — Green Day
Okay, I saw the other file, made a few changes so it’d be perfect. The way the
other guy had it was a little off, but sounded fine if you played it on your own.
But played along with the video it was wrong. So, here’s the fix. I just fixed all
his little oopses. But, thanks go out to David Hill, the author of the original tab.
I couldn’t have figured this out without his tab first. E-mail me if you have any
questions, comments, or wads of money for me.

Tab 1 & Intro
Verse: (play each line twice, then go to chorus)
G C9 Dsus4
|——-3—————3—————3————3———| then it repeats, so it almost
|———-3————-3—————3————3——| sounds like it goes C9, Dsus4,
|————-0————0—————0——2——2—-| Gmodal. So, after the end of the
|—0—————0—————2————0————-| Dsus4 bit, go straight to the G
|——————————3—————————-| bass note.
|-3—————3——————————————|
Em Dsus4 C9 G
|——3————3————-3————3——————| The above line gets played
|———3————3————-3————3—————| twice, then this twice, and that’s
|———-0——2——2————-0————0————-| the verse. Then the line after
|—2———-0—————2————0———————| that is the chorus. Not that
|—————————-3————————————| complex, but this IS Green Day,
|-0—————————————3———————-| after all.

Em Dsus4
|——3———3——| Okay, now, it’s important that you go straight back into the
|———3———3—-| opening G of the verse, because the Dsus4 sort of leaves you
|———-0———2—| hanging there. Then play the first half of the verse once
|—2———-0———| through, then start it all over again.

Lyrics
Verse 1:
G C9 Dsus4 G
Another turning point a fork stuck in the road
G C9 Dsus4 G
Time grabs you by the wrist directs you where to go
Em Dsus4 C9 G
So make the best of these days and don’t ask why
Em Dsus4 C9 G
It’s not a question but a lesson learned in time
Chorus
Em G Em G
It’s something unpredictable in the end it’s right
Em Dsus4 G (where verse riff cuts back in)
I hope you have the time of your life. (Start struming G C Dsus4)
Verse 2:
G C9 Dsus4 G
So take the photographs and stillframes in your mind
G C9 Dsus4 G
Hang it on a shelf; it could’ve been good times (couldn’t get this line, fix it if you know it)
Em Dsus4 C9 G
Tatoos and memories and asking on trial
Em Dsus4 C9 G
For what it’s worth it was worth all the while
Chorus
Instrumental(Strum over Violins)
Chorus
End with Tab 1 and then |———|

|—2——|
|—-0—-|
|——0—| and end on a G
