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.

Cm - |x35543| Bm - |x24432|

G - |3x0033| D - |xx0232|

G/Gb - |200033|
