On last time leave D|9--9--7--7--6--6--5-5-7-8 out 5-5-7-8. Verse 2: Cold turkeys gettin ..... D|9--9--7--7--6--6--5-5-7-8 Play 4 times with lots of A|9--9--7--7--6--6--5-5-7-8 distortion.

Outro: D|9--9--7--7--6--6--5-5-7-8 Play that 8x A|9--9--7--7--6--6--5-5-7-8 On last one leave out 5-5-7-8 and D|9--9--7--7--6--6--5-5-7-8 Billie Joe says some kinda jibberish. No, no way! Hitchin a ride! (I think thats what they say) and finally play this: E|-4-| B|-4-| G|-4-| D|-4-| Well that's all and even though this is my first tab, I'm pretty sure its right. If you have any problems listent to the CD or feel free to email me with any comments. =)
