Band: Green Day
Song: Waiting Live on The Late Show With Conan O’Brien
Album: Warning
Tabbed By: Ike
Tuning: Drop ½ step

Im Pretty sure this is correct, if you want to print this easier, put it on word, then cut out all the unnecessary parts (like this part)

There is 2 guitars, just watch them play live

Guitar 1 = Billie Joe’s part
Guitar 2 = some guy that plays to the left of the stage during live performances’ part

Listen to the song to get the timing right on the notes

And the lyrics don’t match the rhythm, they’re just there to help
