GREEN DAY - Boulevard of Broken Dreams
(American Idiot, 2004)
(rhythm guitar capo on 1st fret)
(electric lead guitar NO CAPO)
Em G
I walk a lonely road
D A Em
The only one I that have ever known
G
Don't know where it goes
D A Em G D A
But its home to me and I walk alone
Em G
I walk this empty street
D A Em
On the boulevard of broken dreams
G
Where the city sleeps
D A Em G D
And I'm the only one and I walk alone
A Em G D
I walk alone I walk alone
A
I walk alone I walk a...
CHORUS:
C G D E5
My shadows the only one that walks beside me
C G D E5
My shallow hearts the only thing that's beating
C G D E5
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
C G B
Till then I'll walk alone
Em G D A Em
Ah-Ah Ah-Ah Ah-Ah Ahhh
G D A Em
Ah-Ah Ah-Ah Ah-Ah Ahhh
VERSE 2:
I'm walking down the line
That divides me somewhere in my mind
On the border line of the edge
And where I walk alone
Read between the lines
what's fucked up and every thing's all right
Check my vital signs
to know I'm still alive and I walk alone
I walk alone I walk alone
I walk alone I walk a...
CHORUS
Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ahhh...
I walk alone I walk a...
