Chords

An unreleased recording by Green Day. There's been various live recordings of it done in various tunings. The Sweet Children demo is in standard, the KALX version is in D and the one from 2/24/1989 is in Eb, so tune to whichever version you want to play along with. Make sure to use all open chords and play arpeggios in the intro and verses (as well as the outro), and make sure to leave the high E string open for all chords during those parts. Enjoy! [Intro] Dsus2 Cadd9 G Cadd9 [Verse 1]
Dsus2         Cadd9   G             Cadd9
I've got this feeling that's coming over me

Dsus2       Cadd9       G          Cadd9
I'm feeling brighter, I think that you can see

Dsus2        Cadd9 G           Cadd9
You've got a smile that lights up a fire

Dsus2      Cadd9 G             Cadd9   A
I hope you know that you're my only desire

Dsus2     Cadd9     G         Cadd9
I love to listen to hear your tender voice

Dsus2        Cadd9      G       Cadd9
To take your hand, your skin so soft and moist

Dsus2       Cadd9     G        Cadd9
You talk to me and it makes me feel brand new

Dsus2     Cadd9     G        Cadd9           A
Head over heals, it seems so long I've known you

I love to listen to your whisper to hear

         E
What you say

     A               B                    G
This thing I feel is growing stronger, so please

          E
Won't you stay?
[Verse 2]
Dsus2      Cadd9    G       Cadd9
Look in my eyes and tell me what you find

Dsus2        Cadd9      G         Cadd9
Such passion burning, I know it's of one kind

Dsus2        Cadd9      G          Cadd9
I'll write a letter and send it to you with love

Dsus2       Cadd9     G        Cadd9             A
I'd like to know what all your thoughts are made of

Dsus2    Cadd9    G      Cadd9
A gentle kiss and then I wonder why

Dsus2            Cadd9    G       Cadd9
You've dried the tears of so many years I've cried

Dsus2    Cadd9  G      Cadd9
A man in motion when I think of us

Dsus2     Cadd9   G         Cadd9  A
Hold you again is one thing that I must
