Green Day - Scattered Acoustic

first attempt at a tab , please go easy on me . . . basically , i couldn’t find a really
simple , easy version of this to play , so i took the chords for the normal version and
figured out an acoustic way to play it that suits my style and isn’t too much of A
challenge for my simplistic , unarticulate fingers .

capo 4

intro : G – – – F – C – – x3 , then hold on G

C Am
well , i’ve got some scattered pictures lying on my bedroom floor .
F
reminds me of the time we shared .
G
makes me wish that you were here . well ,
C Am
now it seems i’ve forgotten my purpose in this life .
F
all the songs have been erased .
G
guess i’ve learned from my mistakes .

Am C G F
open the past and present , now and we are there .
Dm F C
story to tell and i Am listening
Dm C G F
open the past and present , and the future too .
Dm F C
it’s all i’ve got and i’m givin it to you .

loose ends tied in knots . leaving a lump down in my throat .
gagging on a souvenir .
lodged to fill another year .
drag it on and on until my skin is ripped to shreads .
leaving myself open wide
living out a sacrifice .

open the past and present , now and we are there .
story to tell and i Am listening
open the past and present , and the future too .
it’s all i’ve got and i’m givin it to you .

bridge : ( repeat intro chords x2 )

G F C
if you got no one
G F C
and i’ve got no place to go ,
G F C
would it be alright?
G
could it be alright?

C ( hold for a bit , palm mute , whatever you like , then move onto verse )

well , i’ve got gome scattered pictures lying on my bedroom floor .
reminds me of the times we shared .
makes me wish that you were here . well ,
now it seems i’ve forgotten my purpose in this life .
all the songs have been erased .
guess i’ve learned from my mistakes .

open the past and present , now and we are there .
story to tell and i Am listening
open the past and present , and the future too .
it’s all i’ve got and i’m givin it to you .
it’s all i’ve got and i’m givin it to you .
