Knowledge - Green Day (Operation Ivy)

Tabbed by: Mike Cassidy

Tuning: EADGBe (live it's played ½ step down)
Pretty simple 3 chord rocker, just listen to the song for the strumming
pattern, I'm too lazy to tab it out. Solo's a basic D blues scale type
thing, I know it's not 100% accurate, I havn't really listened to the song
closely. I've tabbed out the basic bass line as well, but I'm not a bass
player, so that's pretty rough too. Feel free to email
comments/corrections/tab requests/etc to me. Enjoy!
