Green Day — When I Come Around

Lyrics: Billie Joe Armstrong
Tuning: 1/2 step down (sounds a semitone lower than written here)
Notes: Not much to say here. Moderate distortion. Play around
with the solo a bit, itґs not too hard to figure out the right
pattern.

h = hammer-on
p = pull-off
b = bend
/ = slide up
= slide down
5 = power chord

Lyrics

I heard you cry it loud
All the way across town
Youґve been searchin
For that someone
And itґs me out of the crowd
As you sit around
Feeling sorry for yourself
(Verse 1)
So donґt get lonely now
And dry your whinin eyes
Iґm just roamin for the moment
Sleazin my backyard so donґt get
So uptight youґve been thinkin
About ditchin me

No time to search the world around
Cuz you know where Iґll be found (Chorus)
When I come around

I heard it all before
So donґt knock down my door
Iґm a loser, and a user
So I donґt need no accuser
To try and slag me down
Because I know youґre right
(Verse 2)
So go do what you like
Make sure you do it wise
You may find out that your self-doubt
Means nothing was ever there
You canґt go forcing something
If itґs just not right

(Chorus)
(Bridge)
(Chorus)
