Song: The Ballad of Wilhelm Fink Artist: Green Day Album: Short Music for Short People (1999) (compilation by FAT Records) Tabbed By: Paul Wolffersdorff Tuning: Half (all strings tuned down a half step) Notes: Really cool song, played on an acoustic with no bass or drums. As far as strumming goes, it's pretty much all eighth notes except for the two quick sixteenth notes he plays before switching chords. I'm really not sure if these are the exact chords used (they may be in the open position or like the chords in Good Riddance). I think it sounds even better played as power chords on an electric guitar with lots of distortion.
