Hi! Here is a fun Green Day song from Dookie. Remember to

          tune your guitar to Eb, and play FAST!!  Best..Mark...


          Opening.. E E D A...Play 4 times...

          E              D                  E

          Dear Mother, Can you hear me whining?

          E               D             G                 B

          It's been 3 whole weeks since I have left your home

          E              D                    E

          This sudden fear has left me trembling

          E               D              G              B

          'Cause now it seems that I am out here on my own

            G                     B

           And I'm feeling all alone...


          REFRAIN:

          E              G                    A               C

          Pay attention to the cracked streets, and broken homes

          E                    G             B

          Some call it slums, some call it nice...

          E               G                      A

          I want to take you through a wasteland I like to call my

          C      E                B

          home...Welcome to Paradise   (Do the EE D A thingy twice)


          2nd Verse...

          E           D                    E

          A gunshot rings out at the station

          E          D                G               B

          Another urchin snaps, and left dead on his own

          E             D                    E

          It makes me wonder why I'm still here

          E                  D                 G             B

          For some strange reason it's now feeling like my home

                    G         B

          And I'm never gonna go...


          REPEAT REFRAIN...PLAY E....There is a bridge here w&a bass

          solo..I don't have time to do it now!(I have to give you

          something to do eh?)

          E             D                     E

          Dear Mother, Can you hear me laughing?

          E               D                G                 B

          It's been six whole months since I have left your home

          E             D                    E

          It makes me wonder why I'm still here

          E                   D              G              B

          For some strange reason it's now feeling like my home

                    G         B

          And I'm never gonna go...
