Tunning: Nashville (E A D G B E)
Hi! This is the tab for the demo of 21st century breakdown.
It's my first tab, but I think that it's ok.
I'm not sure about the picking, but I'm not an expert in the
issue, so, if you have any corrections or suggestions, please,
send them to nevermind___@hotmail.com
[INTRO] (this part is played by a piano, but I tabbed it anyway)
E|-------4---4--4--6--4--------|

If you don't wanna play the pianotabattemp, you can play the chords
that are played in the piano, wich are C# G# F#.
Listen to the song to find how many times you have to play this.

Sorry if any of this is confusing. It was hard to put the second guitar
in there. I think this song is supposed to be a half-step down, so this is what it would
like without retuning your guitar.

Tunings:
Well this depends. I think most people would use standard, but I use it in Half-
Step Down tuning (a semitone lower than standard) Because you can do the normal
chords instead of power chords.
I'll tab Half-Step-Down.
(In the fast palm mute bit in the interlude, do downstrokes. That's how to do it.)
This song is really long to tab out.

Lyrics:
***************
(Verse:)
Born into Nixon I was raised in hell,
A welfare child where the teamsters dwelled,
The last one born and the first one to run,
My town was blind from refinery sun.
(Pre Chorus:)
My generation is zero,
I never made it as a working class hero.
(Chorus:)
21st Century Breakdown, I once was lost and never was found,
I think I'm losing what's left of my mind,
To the 20th Century Deadline.
(Verse 2:)
I was made of poison and blood,
Condemnation is what I understood.
Videogames from the towers fall,
Homeland security could kill us all.
(Pre Chorus:)
My generation is zero,
I never made it as a working class hero.
(Chorus:)
21st Century Breakdown, I one was lost and never was found,
I think I'm losing what's left of my mind,
To the 20th Century Deadline.
(Interlude:)
We are the class of, the class of 13,
Born in the era of humility,
We are the desperate in the decline,
Raised by the bastards of 1969!
My name is no one the long lost sun,
Born on the fourth of July.
Raised in an era of heroes and cons,
That lept me for dead or alive.
I am a nation a worker of pride,
My debt to the status quo.
The scars on my hands and the means to an end,
Is all that I have to show.
I swallowed my pride and I choked on my faith,
I've given my heart and my soul.
I've been to the edge and I throw the bouquet,
Of flowers lept over the grave.
I sat in the waiting room waisting my time,
And waiting for judgment day..
I praise liberty, the "freedom to obey",
It's the song that strangles me,
Well Don't Cross The Line.
(Outro:)
Dream, America Dream,
I can't even sleep,
From the light's early dawn.
Scream, American Scream,
Believe what you see,
From Heroes and Cons.
