Song: Wake Me Up When September Ends Artist: Green Day Album: American Idiot Tabbed by: Dan Benz (DanSumthing@aol.com)
This is a great song from an incredible album. I heard the intro to this and I had to tab the whole thing. Easily my best tab, it took me a long time because I wanted to get every note right.
For the acoustic verse and bridge, I tabbed each note out the way it's played on the album, but if you'd rather just play the chords, they're written above the tablature. See below for chord fingerings.
