Green Day - Westbound Sign

From: fujioka@uiuc.edu (LSM)

Here is the new song Westbound Sign, by Greenday, off their new album
Insomniac. The album is coming out on October 10th, but I got the song
Off the radio. The song only has a total of four chords, so it's pretty
Damn easy. They are all power chords and it sounds just like Basket Case,
Just lower. So have fun!

Important: Change your font to a equal width font (i.e. Courier)

Note: Tune a 1/2 step down.

Westbound Sign

Verse:
E B C
Boxed up, all of her favorite things.
E B C
Sold the rest at a rainy yard sale.
E B C
Big plans and leaving friends
E B C
And a westbound sign.

Chorus:
D A B A D
Weighed out, her choices on a scale.
D A B A
Prevailing, nothing made sense
D A B A D
Just transportation and a blank decision...
D A B A
She's taking off.

Verse:
E B C
She's burnig daylight and petrol
E B C
Heading westward on, strung out
E B C
On confusion road.
E B C
And ten minute nervous breakdowns
E B C
Xanex a beer for thought,
E B C
And she determined...she's taking off.

Chorus:
D A B A D
Is it salvation, or an escape from discontent?
D A B A D
Will she find her name in the California cement?
D A B A D
Punched out of the grind that punched her
D A B A D
One too many times.
D A B A D
Is tragedy 2000 miles away?...She's taking off...
