Text File
Song Name: Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Artist Name: Green Day
This is a simplified version of the song that is played using 4 Main Chords and 1
Additional Chord at the end of each chorus. The additional chord is B, though you
can play E7 instead if you find B too hard to play for now.
This is recommended for beginner guitarist to practice and learn the song before
moving to more advanced chord progressions and styling.
Transpose Up 1 half steps using the Ultimate-Guitar transposing tool to change the
chords below so you can play with the original Green Day version without a capo.
Alternatively Capo the 1st fret and use the chords below to play with the original
Green Day version.
Capo Position: 1st fret (to match original song)
