          Hi! Here is a fun Green Day song from Dookie. Remember to
          tune your guitar to Eb, and play FAST!!  Best..Mark...

          Opening.. E E D A...Play 4 times...
          E              D                  E
          Dear Mother, Can you hear me whining?
          E               D             G                 B
          It's been 3 whole weeks since I have left your home
          E              D                    E
          This sudden fear has left me trembling
          E               D              G              B
          'Cause now it seems that I am out here on my own
            G                     B
           And I'm feeling all alone...

          REFRAIN:
          E              G                    A               C
          Pay attention to the cracked streets, and broken homes
          E                    G             B
          Some call it slums, some call it nice...
          E               G                      A
          I want to take you through a wasteland I like to call my
          C      E                B
          home...Welcome to Paradise   (Do the EE D A thingy twice)

          2nd Verse...
          E           D                    E
          A gunshot rings out at the station
          E          D                G               B
          Another urchin snaps, and left dead on his own
          E             D                    E
          It makes me wonder why I'm still here
          E                  D                 G             B
          For some strange reason it's now feeling like my home
                    G         B
          And I'm never gonna go...

          REPEAT REFRAIN...PLAY E....There is a bridge here w/a bass
          solo..I don't have time to do it now!(I have to give you
          something to do eh?)
          E             D                     E
          Dear Mother, Can you hear me laughing?
          E               D                G                 B
          It's been six whole months since I have left your home
          E             D                    E
          It makes me wonder why I'm still here
          E                   D              G              B
          For some strange reason it's now feeling like my home
                    G         B
          And I'm never gonna go...

          REPEAT REFRAIN: and end after the 4th EE D A thingy...
