Highlighted       Show chord diagrams
Song Name: Time of Your Life (Good Riddance)
Artist Name: Green Day

BEGINNERS READ THIS:

This is a simplified version of the song that only uses 4 Chords, G, D, Em and C.

This is recommended for beginner guitarist to practice the normal basic chords and 
learn the song before moving to more advanced chord progressions and styling.

You can use the chords below to play with the original Green Day version.

TAKING IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL:

For alternative chords and a more accurate sounding rhythm, replace Em with Em7, 
replace C with Cadd9 and add Dsus4 before or after any D chords that occur 
throughout the song. 

Most people actually find using the alternative chords easier than the version 
below, however its good practice to master the basic chords FIRST as most chord 
variations can be derived from the basic chords.

---------------------------------------------------------
INTRO: G C D X 2 (G is played twice as long as the other chords)

VERSE 1:

G                          C                  D
  Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road
G                                C                  D
  Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go
Em           D            C                   G
 So make the best of this test, and don't ask why
Em           D               C                 G
 It's not a question, but a lesson learned in time


CHORUS:
[ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/g/green-day/255502.html ]
     Em             G             Em               G
It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.
  Em               D            G        
I hope you had the time of your life. 

G C D (This is played with no singing to connect the chorus and verse)

VERSE 2:

G                             C                   D
 So take the Photographs and still frames in your mind
G                       C                   D
 Hang it on a shelf in good health and good time
Em           D            C            G
 Tattoos of memories and dead skin on trial
Em             D             C             G
 For what it's worth it was worth all the while

CHORUS:

     Em             G             Em               G
It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.
  Em               D            G        
I hope you had the time of your life.

SOLO:

G C D X 4     (G is played twice as long as the other chords)

FINAL CHORUS: (The chorus loops twice to complete the song)

It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.
  Em               D            G        
I hope you had the time of your life.

     Em             G             Em               G
