Good Riddance

Green Day


This is a simplified version of the song that I created for a 5-year-old student. It's played on just the 6th string. Instead of chord names, only the 6th string fret number is provided.

Playing a bass line on the 6th string is the easiest way to play a song on guitar--perfect for total beginners or kids who want to sing and play at the same time.

Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road.

Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go.

3 (2)                                        8                     10
So take the photographs, and still frames in your mind.

3 (2)                           8                          10
Hang it on a shelf in good health and good time.

0              10                 8               3
Tattoos of memories and dead skin on trial.

For what it's worth, it was worth all the while.
