Dood, I'm sorry to say but your tab is a bit off... I give you an "A" for effort tho. The accurate tab (you can check this out in guitar world magazine) is:

Intro/Main Riff
Gb|-------------------------------|
Db|---------6--6--0-------6-------|
Ab|-6-6--0--4--4--0--4-4--4--6--4-|
Eb|-4-4--0-----------2-2-----4--2-|

Gb|-------------------------------|
Db|---------6--6--0-------6-----0-|
Ab|-6-6--0--4--4--0--4-4--4--6--0-|
Eb|-4-4--0-----------2-2-----4--0-|

Chorus
Eb|---|---|---|---|
Bb|---|---|-8-|---| make sure to throw in open
Gb|---|---|-8-|---| notes inbetween
Db|-6-|---|-8-|---| each transition
Ab|-4-|-6-|-6-|-6-|
Eb|---|-4-|---|-4-|

ill have an entire tab of American Idiot up in a few days but this is the jist of the whole song.
