Who Wrote Holden Caulfield?
Green Day
Kerplunk! (1992)
Lyrics: Billie Joe Armstrong
Music: Green Day
Tuning: 1/2 step down (sounds a semitone lower than written here)
Notes: Palm mute all verses, bass and drums start on first chorus.
On first verse, a second guitar hits an E5 when the bass and drums
come in, and lets it ring and feed back, then comes in on the last
B5.

h = hammer-on
p = pull-off
b = bend
/ = slide up
 = slide down
5 = power chord
() = harmonic
