Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life)
Billy Joe Armstrong

Green Day
Nimrod
1997

I got a request for this song today and I had heard
it over break so I found the MP3 on the Neighborhood
and figured it out.  It's a pretty simple song.  Enjoy!

INTRO:

   G                                   Cadd9             D
   +   +   +   +     +   +   +   +     +   +   +   +     +   +   +   +
e:-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
B:-------3---------|-------3---------|-------3---------|-------3---------|
G:-------0---------|-------0---------|-------0---0---0-|-2---2-----2---2-|
D:-----0-----0---0-|-----0-----0---0-|-2---2-------2---|-0-----------0---|
A:-2-----------2---|-2-----------2---|-3-----------3---|-----------------|
E:-3-----------3---|-3-----------3---|-----------------|-----------------|

the verse continues using the same rhythm as intro figure

G                          Cadd9             D
   Another turning point a fork stuck in the road
G                                Cadd9              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
     Em             G            Em            G
It's something unpredictable but in the end is right
  Em               D            G
I hope you had the time of your life

play intro figure 2x


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

CHORUS
It's something unpredictable but in the end is right
I hope you had the time of your life
