By: Green Day
From (album): Dookie
Words by: Billie Joe
Played on: Acoustic
TABed by: Boboly Pizza Man (boboly@nb.net) - The one and only :)

I wrote this because the other versions were wrong. They had the basics, but
were lacking some small things... Call me a perfectionist if you will :) I
love secret songs, don't you? Anyways...

Measure #1:
|2---2---2---2---|
|--3---3---3---3-|
|----------------|
|0---------------|
|----------------|
|----------------|

Measure #2:
|3---3---3---3---|
|--3---3---3---3-|
|0---------------|
|----------------|
|----------------|
|----------------|

Measure #3:
|4---4---4---4---|
|--5---5---5---5-|
|----------------|
|----------------|
|----------------|
|0---------------|

Measure #4:
|5---5---5---5---|
|--5---5---5---5-|
|----------------|
|----------------|
|0---------------|
|----------------|

Measure #5:
|5---5---5|
|--5---5--|
|---------|
|---------|
|0-------0|
|---------|

After playing the last part of this measure, quickly place your hand with the
pick over all the strings so that the sound will only last for a fraction of
a second.

Play the measures in this order:

Play #1 and #2 - 7 times
Play #3 and #4 - 3 times
Play #3 and #5 - 1 time
Play #1 and #2 - 4 times
Play #3 and #4 - 3 times
Play #3 and #5 - 1 time

Understand? Really, it isn't that hard.

To play the parts where there are "0"s below numbers, I usually strum the
open string with the pick and use another finger to pick the higher string.
For example, take measure #5... I would pick the A string with my pick, while
struming the high E string with my middle finger. Whatever worx for you :)

Oh, I almost forgot... Here are the lyrics:

Begin singing towards the 2nd time you play measure #2... Listen to the CD if
you don't know what I mean.

I was alone... I was all by myself.
No one was looking, I was thinkin' of you...
Oh ya did I mention... I was all by myself? (at the end of this line, measure
	#3 kicks in for the first time)
All by myself... All by myself... All by myself. (end of measure #5 and music
	stops until...)
I went to your (music starts again) house, but no one was there...
I went to your room... I was all by myself...
You and me had such wonderful times... When I'm all by myself...
All by myself... All by myself.

Little confusing, I know... The extra notes will probably screw a couple ppl
up, but you see what I mean :)

Boboly Pizza Man out!

P.S. If you have the whole "solo" of Bombtrack by Rage Against the Machine, I
would love to have it!
