From: "Walter Y. Tien"
Subject: CRD: Green Day - Dookie
Here s the entire album. Didn t bother with Welcome To Paradise since
it s on Kerplunk! Anyway, this might seem a little cryptic at first but
you ll figure it out. I ve written down all the riffs in each song.
You ll have to figure out how many times to repeat stuff and when to
play it but everything s here. It ll make sense once you follow along
with it. I don t have the time to write out all the lyrics with the
chords above the words. Please send me any revisions if you thing I
goofed or made a typo somewhere. Enjoy...

GREEN DAY
" D O O K I E "
==================================================================
1. HAVING A BLAST:
INTRO:
Iïm taking all you down with me
Explosives duct taped to my spine
nothingïs gonna change my mind
I wonït listen to anyones last words
Thereïs nothing left for you to say
soon youïll be dead anyway.
Iïm loosing all my happiness
the happiness You pinned on me
loneliness still comforts me.
my anger dwells inside of me
iïm taking it all out on you
and all the shit you put me through.
chorus:
No one is getting out alive
this time iïve really lost my mind
an i donït care
so close your eyes and kiss your self goodbye
and think about the time you spent
and what theyïve.
to me itïs nothing. . . . . .
==================================================================
2.Chump ?
====================
3. Longview
Bite my lips and close my eyes
take me away to paradise
iïm so damn bored iïm going blind
and i smell like shit
I got no motivation
==================================================================
4.Welcome to paradise
Intro:
dear mother can you hear me whining
itïs been three whole weeks since
i have left your home
this sudden fear has left me trembling
cause now it seem
that iïm here out here on my own
and iïm feeling so alone
pay attention to the cracked streets and the broken homes
some call it slums some call it nice
i wanna take you through a wasteland
i like to call my home
Intro
welcome to paradise
SHE:
INTRO:
1 .
She, she screams in silence
a sullen riot penetrating through her mind
wai ting for a sign
to smash the silence with the bricks of self control
2.
Are you locked up in a world thatïs been planned out for you
are you feeling like a social tool without a use
>I ve seen a lot of posts for this song, and others by Green Day. The main
thing to remember is that Green Day s music is based upon the power (barre)
cords. They are really easy to play once you know these. Many don t know
what I mean, so:
E--X-- E--X--
B--X-- B--10--
G--2-- is a barre cord. For one octave higher G--10--
D--3-- Just go to the A string D--10--
A--3-- and move up 7 frets from A--8--
E--1-- the same position, yet E--X--
the B string one fret to
compensate for the
Half-step differential.
(Often, only the first three strings are played in the chord)
One of the easiest ways for me to crank the cords on the A string without
disturbing the E is to gently mute the E with the tip of my index finger
while holding the cord.
