This is a tab for the entire American Idiot Album, front to back, lyrics included. If you want to post this somewhere, or use parts of it, just keep my name and e-mail on it and you can do whatever you want.
I am extremely confident about the accuracy of each tab, and I tried to make each one as easy to understand as possible. But given the structure of some of the songs, that was a little difficult. Just pay close attention to the "Order" section of each tab and you'll be fine.
For most of the tabs, the strumming pattern/timing is not included.

Don't wanna be an American idiot Don't want a nation under the new mania (Verse 1) Can you hear the sound of hysteria? The subliminal mind-fuck America
Welcome to a new kind of tension All across the alien nation Everything isn't meant to be OK (Chorus) Television dreams of tomorrow We're not the ones meant to follow For that's enough to argue
Well, maybe I'm the faggot, America I'm not a part of a redneck agenda (Verse 2) Now everybody do the propaganda And sing along in the age of paranoia
(Chorus)
Don't wanna be an American idiot One nation controlled by the media (Verse 3) Information age of hysteria It's going out to idiot America

Lyrics:
I'm the son of rage and love The Jesus of Suburbia (Verse 1) From the Bible of "none of the above" On a steady diet of
Soda pop and Ritalin No one ever died for my sins in hell (Verse 2) As far as I can tell At least the ones I've gotten away with
And there's nothing wrong with me This is how I'm supposed to be (Chorus) In a land of make believe That don't believe in me
Get my television fix Sitting on my crucifix (Verse 3) The living room in my private womb While the moms and brads are away
To fall in love and fall in debt To alcohol and cigarettes (Verse 4) And Mary Jane to keep me insane And doing someone else's cocaine

Lyrics:
At the center of the earth In the parking lot (Verse 1) Of the 7-11 were I was taught The motto was just a lie
It says home is were your heart is But what a shame (Verse 2) Cause everyone's heart doesn't beat the same We're beating out of time
City of the dead At the end of another lost highway Sign misleading to nowhere (Chorus) City of the damned Lost children with dirty faces today No one really seems to care
I read the graffiti In the bathroom stall (Verse 3) Like the holy scriptures of a shopping mall And so it seemed to confess
It didn't say much But it only confirmed that (Verse 4) The center of the earth is the end of the world And I could really care less

Everyone is so full of shit Burn and raised by hipocrits Hearts recycled but never saved From the cradle to the grave (Verse) We are the kids of war and peace From Anaheim to the Middle East We are the stories and disciples Of the Jesus of Suburbia
Land of make believe And it don't believe in me (Chorus) Land of make believe And I don't believe
And I don't care! I don't care! I don't care! (Riff 2) I don't care! I don't care!
IV. Dearly Beloved
The first time, a distorted electric guitar strums each chord once. After that, an acoustic strums through them with the electric palm muting.

Lyrics:
Say! Hey!
Hear the sound of the falling rain Coming down like an Armageddon flame (Hey!) (Verse 1) The shame, the ones who die without a name
Hear the dogs howling out of key To a hymn called "Faith and Misery" (Hey!) (Verse 2) And bleed, the company lost the war today
I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies This is the dawning of the rest of our lives (Chorus) On holiday
There's a drum pounding out of time Another protestor has crossed the line (Hey!) (Verse 3) To find, the money's on the other side
Can I get another Amen? (Amen!) There's a flag wrapped around the score of men (Hey!) (Verse 4) A gag, A plastic bag on a monument
(Chorus) (Bridge)
The representative from California has the floor: "Zieg Heil!" to the president gasman "Bombs away!" is your punishment Pulverize the Eiffel Towers Who criticize your government (Interlude) "Bang Bang!" goes the broken glass man Kill all the fags that don't agree Triumph by fire setting fire Is not a way that's meant for me Just cause... just cause - because we're outlaws yeah!

I walk a lonely road The only one I that have ever known Don't know were it goes But its home to me and I walk alone
I walk this empty street On the boulevard of broken dreams Where the city sleeps And I'm the only one and I walk alone I walk alone I walk alone I walk alone I walk a-
My shadows the only one that walks beside me My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me Till then I'll walk alone
I'm walking down the line That divides me somewhere in my mind On the border line of the edge And were I walk alone
Read between the lines of what's Fucked up and every things 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-
My shadows the only one that walks beside me My shallow hearts the only thing that's beating Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me Till then I'll walk alone

My shadows the only one that walks beside me My shallow hearts the only thing that's beating Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me Till then I'll walk alone
Starry nights city lights Coming down over me (Verse 1) Skyscrapers and stargazers In my head Are we we are, Are we we are The waiting unknown
This dirty town was burning down in my dreams (Pre- Chorus) Lost and found city bound in my dreams
And screaming Are we we are, Are we we are the waiting (Chorus) And screaming Are we we are, Are we we are the waiting
Forget me nots and second thoughts Live in isolation Heads or tails and fairytales (Verse 2) In my mind Are we we are, Are we we are The waiting unknown
The rage and love, the story of my life (Pre- Chorus) The Jesus of suburbia is a lie
And screaming Are we we are, Are we we are the waiting And screaming Are we we are, Are we we are the waiting (Outro) Are we we are, Are we we are the waiting And screaming Are we we are, Are we we are the waiting

Lyrics:
St. Jimmy's comin' down across the alleyway Up on the boulevard like a zipgun on parade Light of a sillohette (Intro) He's insubordinate Coming at you on account of One Two One Two Three Four!
My name is Jimmy and you better not wear it out Suicide commando that your momma talked about (Verse 1) King of the forty theives and I'm here to represent The needle in the vein of the establishment
I'm the patron saint of the denial With an angel face and a taste for suicidal (Chorus)
Cigarettes and ramen and a little bag of dope I am the son of a bitch and Edgar Allen Poe Raised in the city under a halo of lights (Verse 2) The product of war and fear that we've been victimized
I'm the patron saint of the denial With an angel face and a taste for suicidal (Chorus)
You talkin' to me? I'll give you something to cry about. (Interlude) ST. JIMMY
My name is St. Jimmy I'm a son of a gun I am the one that's from the way outside now A teenage assasin executing some fun In the cult of the life of crime now
(Bridge) I'd really hate to say it but I told you so So shut your mouth before I shoot you down old boy Welcome to the club and give me some blood I'm the resident leader at the lost and found
It's comedy and tragedy It's St. Jimmy (End) And that's my name ...and don't wear it out!
All chords are played as barre chords. There are two guitars strumming all acoustic parts, and they both play the chords on different parts of the neck, so it doesn't really matter if you play the E open or at the 7th fret, or the F#m at the 2nd or 9th.

She's a rebel She's a saint She's the salt of the earth And she's dangerous (Verse 1) She's a rebel Vigilante Missing link on the brink Of destruction
From Chicago To Toronto She's the one that they Call old Whatsername (Verse 2) She's the symbol Of resistance And she's holding on my Heart like a hand grenade
Is she dreaming What I'm thinking? Is she the mother of all bombs Gonna detonate (Verse 3) Is she trouble Like I'm trouble? Make it a double Twist of fate Or a melody that
She sings the revolution The dawning of our lives She brings this liberation (Chorus) That I just cant define Well nothing comes to mind

Lyrics:
She's an Extraordinary girl In an ordinary world (Verse) And she cant seem to get away
He lacks the courage in his mind Like a child left behind (Verse) Like a pet left in the rain
She's all alone again Wiping the tears from her eyes Some days he feels like dying (Chorus) She gets so sick of crying
She sees the mirror of herself An image she wants to sell (Verse) To anyone willing to buy
He steals the image in her kiss From her heart's apocalypse (Verse) From the one called Whatsername
(Chorus) (Bridge)
She's all alone again Wiping the tears from her eyes Some days he feels like dying (End Chorus) Some days it's not worth trying Now that they both are finding She gets so sick of crying
She's an extraordinary girl An extraordinary girl An extraordinary girl (End) An extraordinary girl
No body likes you Everyone left you They're all out without you Having fun
Where have all the bastards gone? The underbelly stacks up ten high The dummy failed the crash test Collecting unemployment checks Like a flunkie only along for the ride
Where have all the riots gone? As the city's motto gets pulverized "What's in love is now in debt" On your birth certificate So strike the fucking match to light this fuse
The town bishop is an extortionist And he don't even know that you exist. Standin' still when it's do or die You better run for your fucking life
It's not over 'till you're underground It's not over before it's too late This city's burning. "It's not my burden" It's not over before it's too late
There is nothing left to analyze
Where will all the martyrs go when the virus cures itself? And where we will all go when it's too late?
Well don't look back
You're not the Jesus of Suburbia The St. Jimmy is a figment of Your father's rage and your mother's love Made me the idiot America
It's not over 'till you're underground It's not over before it's too late This city's burning. "It's not my burden" It's not over before it's too late
She said, "I can't take this place I'm leaving it behind." Well she said, "I can't take this town I'm leaving you tonight."
The song is split up into 5 parts as describe by the CD booklet, and I've tabbed each one as it's own song.

Lyrics:
My heart is beating from me I am standing all alone Please call me only If you are coming come (Intro) Waste another year flies by Waste a night or two You taught me how to live
In the streets of shame Where you've lost your dreams in the rain (Verse 1) There's no sign of hope The stems and seeds of the last of the dope
There's a glow of light The St. Jimmy is the spark in the night (Verse 2) Bearing gifts and trust The fixture in the city of lust
What the hell's your name Whats your pleasure what is your pain? (Chorus) Do you dream to much? Do you think what you need is a crutch?
In the crowd of pain St. Jimmy comes without any shame (Verse 3) He says "We're fucked up," but we're not the same And mom and dad are the ones you can blame
Jimmy died today He blew out his brains into the bay (Chorus) In the state of mind It's my own private suicide

This life like dream ain't for me (Outro)

Lyrics:
Here they come marching down the street Like a desperation murmur of a heart beat (Verse 1) Coming back from the edge of town Underneath their feet
The time has come and it going nowhere Nobody ever said that life was fair now (Verse 2) Go-carts and guns are treasures they will bear In the summer heat
The world is spinning Around and around (Pre- Chorus) Out of control again From the 7-11 to the fear of breaking down
So send my love a Letterbomb And visit me in hell (Chorus) We're the ones going...

D (Riff 1) A Home........... We're coming home again D A Home........... We're coming home again D A Home........... We're coming home again D A Home........... We're coming home again
Thought I ran onto you down on the street (Verse 1) Then it turned out only to be a dream
I made a point to burn all of the photographs She went away and then I took a different path I remember the face (Chorus) But I cant recall the name Now I wonder how Whatsername has been
Seems that she disappeared with out a trace (Verse 2) Did she ever marry old what's his face
I made a point to burn all of the photographs She went away and then I took a different path I remember the face (Chorus) But I cant recall the name Now I wonder how Whatsername has been
(Bridge)
Remember, whatever It seems like forever ago Remember, whatever It seems like forever ago
(Interlude) The regrets are useless In my mind She's in my head The regrets are useless In my mind She's in my head
And in the darkest night If my memory serves me right (End) I'll never turn back time
Forgetting you, but not the time
