Mucho thanks to [email protected]. Follows is the corrected TAB,

Here is yet another awesome Green Day song from Kerplunk! that was  
posted in an ftp, but it was missing key parts needed to play the  
song, so I have added them so you can play the whole song. This is  
NOT IN STANDARD TUNING!!! If you want to play it right you HAVE TO  
tune down a half step, because the E is open. NOTE: You do tune down 
one half-step, BUT you still play the chord names as if you were in 
standard tuning: 
 
B:  x244xx 
E:  022xxx 
F#: 244xxx 
etc... 
(looks best in Courier) 
 
 
 
Intro: B B F# G# F#   Play that 4x for intro 
 
 
Intro and Verse bass TAB looks like this: 
 
-----------------------------|----------------------------| 
-----------------------------|---------4------------------| 
-2--2--2-----------------2-4-|-2--2--2----------------2-4-| repeat,etc. 
---------2--4---2-2--2-4-----|------------4---2-2--2-4----| 
 
 
Verse 1: 
 
  B    F# 
 
I sit alone in my bedroom 
 
B              F# 
 
Staring at the walls 
 
     B       F# 
 
I've been up all damn night long 
 
B                    F# 
 
My pulse is speeding, my love is yearning 
 
 
 
Chorus: 
 
G#                   B 
 
I hold my breath and close my eyes	----play-this-twice-------- 
 
G#              F#                  --------------------------- 
 
And dream about her...			--3\4-4-4--3\4-4-4--------- 
 
E             F#              *===>	--3\4-4-4--3\4-4-4--------- 
 
Cause she's 2000 light years away   --1\2-2-2--1\2-2-2--------- 
 
G#               B                  --------------------------- 
 
She holds my malakite so tight so 
 
A	     F# 
 
Never let go... 
 
E            F#               B B F# G# F# (4x) 
 
Cause she's 2000 light years away 
 
 
 
Verse 2: 
 
  B                         F# 
 
I sit outside and watch the sunrise 
 
B                   F# 
 
Lookout as far as I can 
 
  B                         F# 
 
I can't see her, but in the distance 
 
B                    F# 
 
I hear some laughter, we laugh together
