"insomniac"
BY GREEN DAY

This took me forever to get this on the computer. Other than that, I tabbed
the song by ear in
3omin. I was going to post on the 10th, but l just didn't have the time to
type it all out. The timing
and lyrics are probably off, because l tabbed it while l was still so fresh
to the songs, but the
powerchords are all right.

Well here it's the entire album (all 32 minutes and 55 seconds) with no
mistakes, I hope =). I've only put the chords, if anyone thinks a TAB should
be made (with rythms, times the chords are played, etc.) just mail me and
I'll make it. Well, contrary to what most people think, I think this album is
better than "Dookie" ("Dookie" is more comercial), it's better in ...
EVERYTHING!!!!! Well, no more words, here it is.
