More tabs for Wake Me Up When September Ends @ 911Tabs 

Song:      Wake Me Up When September Ends
Artist:    Green Day
Album:     American Idiot
Tabbed by: Dan Benz (DanSumthing@wi.rr.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.

C    - |x32010|   Em - |022000|
Cm   - |x35543|   Bm - |x24432|
G    - |3x0033|   D  - |xx0232|
G/Gb - |200033|

In Verse 1, playing the bar chord version of the  ||
C chord makes it much easier to transition to     ||
the Cm chord that follows it.                     ||
