Green Day Nuclear Family
This is my first tab, so sorry if it's not up to scratch! Leave a comment if you think
any of it needs improvement or is just plain wrong.
Tempo: 175 (ish)
Intro
e|----------------------------------|
B|----------------------------------| This bit is slightly less distorted
G|-9---9-999---9-999---9-9-9--------| and this isn't the exact strumming
D|-9---9-999---9-999---9-9-9--------| pattern of this particular bit, but
A|-7---7-777---7-777---7-7-7--------| you can figure it out by listening
E|----------------------------------| to the song
e|---------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9------------------9-9-9--------|
D|-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-7---7-7-7---7-7--9-9-9-9--99--| X2

E|---------------------------------5---5-5-5---5-5--------7--77--|
On the second time, another guitar plays this riff:
e|---------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-8---8---4--------------------9-9-9--------|
D|-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x---x---x---7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7--9-9-9-9--99--|

Verse 1, 2 and 3
(Guitar Rest, Drum and Bass Fill)
e|---------------------------------------------------------------|

G|-9------------------------------------------------9-9-9--------| X4
D|-9-------------------------------7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7--9-9-9-9------|

E|---------------------------------5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5--------7------|
Chorus 1, 2 and 3
It's easy to figure out the strumming pattern of the chorus, just listen to the song. It
sounds a bit like a section of the verse from "Welcome to Paradise"
e|---------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------|
G|----------9----------------------------------------------------|
D|-7--------9-(x16)--7--------9----------------------------------|
A|-7-(x32)--7--------7-(x32)--9-(x16)----------------------------|
E|-5-----------------5--------7----------------------------------|
After second chorus play the verse riff twice, it's the Bass solo!
Guitar Solo:

D|----9-----------|----------------| listen to the song.
A|----------------|----------------|
E|----------------|----------------|
NOTE 3RD VERSE:
I think there a second guitar playing a fill with perhaps a harmonic pedal, I'm not
sure. If anyone does know just say so in the comments, it's a pretty cool effect in my opinion.
Outro:
Rhythm plays
e|----------------| If you wanted to, you could add |--------|
B|----------------| in these chords now and then. |-9---10-|
G|-9--------------| |-9----9-|
D|-9-(X64)--------| |-9----9-|
A|-7--------------| |-7----7-|
E|----------------| |--------|
While lead plays
e|--------------------------------|
B|--------------------------------|
G|-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-8---8---4--| X5
D|-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x---x---x--|
A|-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-6---6---2--|
E|--------------------------------|
And then just:
e|-----| |-----|
B|-----| A bend on the G string twice every bar |-----|
G|-2b--| and just finish up with: |-9---|
D|-----| |-9---|
A|-----| |-7---|
E|-----| |-----|
And thats it!!!! Pretty simple, but catchy as hell!
