Haushinka
Green Day
nimrod. (1997)
Lyrics: Billie Joe Armstrong
Music: Green Day
Tuning: Normal
Notes: This is a rather odd song, there are 2 distinct guitar
parts through the whole song, often playing very different riffs.
The interlude is a faster, normal-tuning version of Walking
Contradiction. Most of this tab was taken from Mike
(kcobain13@hotmail.com)'s nimrod album tab. The intro fades in
from Jinx.

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

Lyrics

Haushinka is a girl with a peculiar name
I met her on the eve of my birthday
Did she know, did she know (Verse 1)
Before she went away
Does she know, but it's too damn late

This girl has gone far away, now she's gone (Chorus)

All I have now is a memory to date
A cheap hat and cigarettes, and a peculiar name
I didn't know, I didn't know (Verse 2)
Before she went away
I know now, I know now, and it's too damn late

(Chorus)

Will she ever find her way?
I'm too damn young to be late, but am I?
Yet again, I'm kicking myself (Bridge)
And I'll be here in battle scars
Waiting for you, waiting for you now

(Interlude)
(Solo)
(Chorus)
