Guitar Transcription of "Christie Road", by Green Day
Written By Billie Joe Armstrong ========= Christie Road ========= This is off of their second album KERPLUNK, and I hope you already knew that. I didn't write out the fingerings for the chords, because they are simple barre chords. This is my first transcription, and I hope this is right. Somebody else posted this song in FTP, but the file was REALLY messed up. Comments, corrections, etc., are welcome, and enjoy!
Tuned half-step down(Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb)
When you see (PM), Palm mute that chord)
When you see this asterisk*, play this- Play D chord open, twice, then pull-off the F# note(high e string, 2nd fret)play that three times, then this(riff 1)- e|--0-------0--------------------- B|---3---3--3--3---------------- G|-----2------2------------------ D|--------------------------------- Verse 1:
G5(PM) Staring out of my window
E5(PM) Watching the cars go rollin by
C5(PM) My friends are gone,
D(open) I've got nothing to do*
G5(PM) So I sit here patiently
E5(PM) Watchin' the clock tick so slowly
C5(PM) Gotta get away,
D(open) Or my brains will explode*
Chorus:
C5 G5 D(open) Give me somethin to do to kill some time* C5 G5 D(open) Take me to that place that I call home* C5 G5 D(open) Take away the strains of being lonely (for this part, play the chords, each once) C5 G5 D(open) Take me to the tracks at Christie Road
Verse 2: G5(PM) See the hills from afar E5(PM) Standin on my beat up car C5(PM) The sun went down D(open) And the night fills the sky*
G5(PM) Now I feel like me once again E5(PM) As the train comes a rollin' in C5(PM) Smoked my boredom gone D(open) Slapped my brains up so high*
Chorus
Then play this(riff 2)-
G5 F5 C5 (repeat about 5 or 6 times, I can't remember how many)
Then play this twice-
G5 B5 F5 Mother stay out of my way G5 B5 F5 Of that place we go G5 B5 F5 We'll always seem to find our way G5 B5 F5 To Christie Road
Then play this once-
C5 F5 G5 If there's one thing that I need C5 F5 G5 That makes me feel complete C5 F5 G5 So I go to Christie Road C5(PM) It's home G5(PM, then don't PM) It's home (bass riff)
Riff 2-
G5 F5 C5 F5 G5 F5 C5 F5 G5 F5 C5 F5 G5 F5 C5 F5 G5 It's home It's home It's home
I hope this was correct, and I hope this becomes a help to you. It took me and my brother, NINBoy666@aol.com, to figure this out. As I wrote before, comments and questions are welcome, and if you would like another song by GD to be tabbed out, e-mail me. Right now I am working on These two songs on Kerplunk: 80, and Private Ale. If you have the transcription for About a Girl, by Nirvana, please tell me. No! I am joking. Even the worst guitarist can figure that one out!

ROCK ON
