PROPS GO TO: Jonathan Smith

Song:Maria
Artist:Green Day
Album: Shenanigans (Out in July)

Tabbed by Jonathan Smith (RUBSY)

The strumming for the intro is tricky. You have mute all the strings apart from the ?A? string and then fast downward struming. I saw Billie do this live on some video I downloaded.
  It?s good to see Green Day doing songs like this and Scumbag after the Indie Rock WARNING, but it was still an Okay type album, Church On Sunday the only Green Day Style Song. I can?t wait for the Rarities album (SHENANIGANS), news is it will include a new song called Ha,Ha you?re dead.

Burning the flag at half mast.
