Basket Case Tab

Green Day ( Dookie ) - Basket Case

I guess this is a good way of playing this song. And put a rhytm on it with the chords.

RIFF #1
Do you have the time
to listen to me whine
About NOTHING and EVERYTHING all at once
I am one of those
Melodramatic fools
Neurotic to the bone
No doubt about it

RIFF #2
Sometimes I give myself the CREEPS
Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me

RIFF #3
It all keeps adding up
I think I'm CRACKING UP
Am I just PARANOID?
Am I just STONED?
RIFF #4 (4x times)

RIFF #1
I went to a shrink
To analyze my dreams
SHE says it's lack of sex that's
bringing me down
I went to a whore
HE said my life's a bore
So quit my whining cause it's
bringing HER down

RIFF #2
Sometimes I give myself the CREEPS
Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me

RIFF #3
It all keeps adding up
I think I'm CRACKING UP
Am I just PARANOID?
Yeah Yeah Yeah!

RIFF #4 (4x times)

RIFF #5
Grasping to CONTROL
So I BETTER hold on

RIFF #2
Sometimes I give myself the CREEPS
Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me

RIFF #3
It all keeps adding up
I think I'm CRACKING UP
Am I just PARANOID?
Am I just STONED?

That's it. Have fun! :]
