Music: Green Day
Tuning: Normal
Notes: Intro, verses, and outro played on acoustic guitar, chorus

the intro picking, just hold the bass note of the chord and hit
other strings within the chord, and it should sound fine. Didn't
bother to tab the accordion.

Lyrics

I wanna be the minority
I don't need your authority (Chorus)
Down with the moral majority
Cuz I wanna be the minority

I pledge allegiance
To the underworld
One nation underdog
There of which I stand alone (Verse 1)
A face in the crowd
Unsung against the mold
Without a doubt, singled out
The only way I know

(Chorus)

Stepped out of the line
Like a sheep run from the herd
Marching out of time (Bridge)
To my own beat now...
The only way I know

One light, one mind
Flashing in the dark
Blinded by the silence
Of a thousand broken hearts (Verse 2)
"For crying out loud"
She screamed unto me
A free for all, fuck 'em all
You are your own sight

(Chorus)
(Bridge, no lyrics)
(Verse 2)
(Chorus)

I wanna be the minority (x4)
