Song Name: Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Artist Name: Green Day
This is a simplified version of the song that is played using 4 Main Chords and 1
Additional Chord at the end of each chorus. The additional chord is B, though you
can play E7 instead if you find B too hard to play for now.
This is recommended for beginner guitarist to practice and learn the song before
moving to more advanced chord progressions and styling.
Transpose Up 1 half steps using the Ultimate-Guitar transposing tool to change the
chords below so you can play with the original Green Day version without a capo.
Alternatively Capo the 1st fret and use the chords below to play with the original
Green Day version.
Capo Position: 1st fret (to match original song)

INTRO: x 2
VERSE 1:
I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don't know where it goes
But it's home to me and I walk alone
G D A (Play this before entering next verse)
I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
and I'm the only one and I walk alone
I walk alone,I walk alone
I walk alone,I walk a..
CHORUS:
My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone
Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Aaah-,
Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Aaah-,
VERSE 2:
I'm walking down the line
That divides me somewhere in my mind
On the border line
Of the edge and where I walk alone
G D A (Play this before entering next verse)
Read between the lines
What's fucked up and everything's alright
Check my vital signs
To know I'm still alive and I walk alone
I walk alone,I walk alone
I walk alone,I walk a..
CHORUS:
My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone
Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Aaah-ah
Ah-ah, Ah-ah
I walk alone,I walk a..
SOLO:
C G D Em 3x (This is played with the same rhythm as the chorus)
VERSE 3: (This verse is shorter than the other verses)
I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk a...
CHORUS:
My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone
