Hi! Here is a fun Green Day song from Dookie. Remember to
tune your guitar to Eb, and play FAST!! Best..Mark...

Opening.. E E D A...Play 4 times...
E D E
Dear Mother, Can you hear me whining?
E D G B
It's been 3 whole weeks since I have left your home
E D E
This sudden fear has left me trembling
E D G B
'Cause now it seems that I am out here on my own
G B
And I'm feeling all alone...

REFRAIN:
E G A C
Pay attention to the cracked streets, and broken homes
E G B
Some call it slums, some call it nice...
E G A
I want to take you through a wasteland I like to call my
C E B
home...Welcome to Paradise (Do the EE D A thingy twice)

2nd Verse...
E D E
A gunshot rings out at the station
E D G B
Another urchin snaps, and left dead on his own
E D E
It makes me wonder why I'm still here
E D G B
For some strange reason it's now feeling like my home
G B
And I'm never gonna go...

REPEAT REFRAIN...PLAY E....There is a bridge here w/a bass
solo..I don't have time to do it now!(I have to give you
something to do eh?)
E D E
Dear Mother, Can you hear me laughing?
E D G B
It's been six whole months since I have left your home
E D E
It makes me wonder why I'm still here
E D G B
For some strange reason it's now feeling like my home
G B
And I'm never gonna go...

REPEAT REFRAIN: and end after the 4th EE D A thingy...
