Then it repeats, so it almost sounds like it goes C9 Dsus4 Gmodal.
So, after the end of the Dsus4 bit, Go straight to the G bass note.

Okay, tab 1 at the top is played through twice, then
play tab 2 twice. That's the verse. Then, the next bit
is played once. That's the chorus. Not terribly complex,
but, hey this IS Green Day, after all.

Okay, now, it's important that you Go straight back into the
opening G of the verse, because the Dsus4 sort of leaves you
hanging there. Then play the first half of the verse once
through, then start it all over again.

For what it's worth it was worth all the while
