Green Day
Rotting (nimrod B-side)
Taken from nimrod 1997 TABBED BY RUBSY.

This song can be found on the time of your life single. The open riff is on a fX pedal, I don’t what it is called, but on a keyboard it is called Fatasy 1. I’m not 100% on the words cause Billie isn’t singing them very clearly, but I’m 100% on the music.

Red rose of death, in my fist I cluch.
Thorn shred my finger tips, drips toxic blood.

As my bones E-rust, bleed pounds of trust.
Whispers, are you dying in my head.

Whispers, are you dying in my head. Whispers, are you dying in my head.
