‘NO ONE KNOWS’ By Green Day
(Taken from the Kerplunk! album)
Transcribed by Will James (20 Sep 1996)
I think this song has a really great bass line and i’m surprised no one has
got round
to transcribing it.. I did this on my electric guitar since i didnt have a
bass at hand
so you may have to fiddle with it! but i hope its correct (more or less)
Notes: Tune down 1/2 step

VERSE 1
G D (FILL 1)
Why should my fun have to end?
A
For me its only the beginning
G D (FILL 1)
I see my friends begin to age
A
A Short countdown to what end
CHORUS
G D A
Call me irresponsible
G D A
Call me habitual
G D
But when you think of me
G D
Do you fill your head with schemes
G D
Better think again
A
Cause no one knows
VERSE 2
I don’t want to cause no harm
But sometimes my actions hurt
Is there something i should find
To make plans forever
CHORUS
BASS RIFF
