song name : time of your life ( good riddance )
artist name : green day
beginners read this :
this is a simplified version of the song that only uses 4 chords , G , D , Em and C .
this is recommended for beginner guitarist to practice the normal basic chords and
learn the song before moving to more advanced chord progressions and styling .
you can use the chords below to play with the original green day version .
taking it to the next level :
for alternative chords and a more accurate sounding rhythm , replace Em with Em7 ,
replace C with Cadd9 and add Dsus4 before or after any D chords that occur
throughout the song .
most people actually find using the alternative chords easier than the version
below , however its good practice to master the basic chords first as most chord
variations can be derived from the basic chords .
