Chords for The Making of Green days American Idiot Video [Part 2/2]

[Ab] One [Eb] guy's gonna be moving in slow motion, one guy's gonna be real time.
The way I gotta [Bb] do it is one at a time.
You gotta speed [Ab] the film up and down or anything?
Exactly.
We could repeat the moves at different frame [Bbm] rates, so the musicians are operating at different speeds, all within the same move.
It'll be [Ab] amazing. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Db] So, _ _ [Ab] _
_ [Bbm] _ _ _ [C] big energy.
And when he came up with this idea, it was gonna be a [Gbm] performance type of video, but filming [Em] it in a way that's never been captured [C] before.
So I thought, this is perfect. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _
We're _ _ _ [G] playing super slow and we're playing super fast.
At the end of the [F] day, we should be covered [Eb] in sweat, blood [N] and blisters.
60, 48 frames.
I'll ramp on [Ebm] this.
_ [Db] _
_ [Ab] _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _
[Db] _ _ [Ab] _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _
[Db] _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ [N] _ _
_ _ _ [Abm] Awesome.
_ That was great.
[F] It's difficult to play at the different speeds, [N] but when you're a master of your craft, you can do anything, basically.
_ [Gbm] _ [G] _ _
[Gb] _ [Ab] _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ [Gb] _ [Em] That's me.
Alright, yeah, I'm shown.
[Bm] Can you make sure I'm [Gm] completely impeccable and [Gb] spotless?
Yeah. _ _ _
_ _ [Fm] _ _ Playing it and [N]
exaggerating the hits.
Exactly.
Exaggerating the hits and the changes. _ _
[Ab] Stand [A] up, feet and [Ab] thumbs [Db] up.
_ _ [Gb] _
[Db] _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ [Db] _ [E] Well, I almost fell when I [C] jumped up to mute the cymbals.
The cymbals were over [G] there.
They were spinning and then [Bb] I almost fell back because the seat wasn't where it [Abm] was the second before.
So, I mean, but I made it.
[Eb] _ _
[Fm] _ _ [Ab] _ _ [Bb] _ Trey's like a wind-up monkey.
_ [Gb] [Ab] Drum go.
[Db] _ _ [Ab] _
_ [Eb] _ _ [Ab] _ Spinning _ _
_ _ [F] _ [Abm] drum kits.
[Bbm] I don't [C] know.
He had us playing at different speeds [N] because he's out of his mind.
His mind runs at three different speeds at [Bb] one time. What's next?
_ We're losing the green screen.
[N] I was just informed by the director that _ [Bbm] now they're going to pull [Gb] the green screen.
[Db] _
_ _ [Gb] _ _ [Ab] _ _ [Gb] _ _
[Db] _ [Ab] _ [Gb] _ [N] Eric Polswardek, lead man for the art department.
Our flag, which is a mixture of tempera paint and dish soap.
When our water effect starts to happen, the dish [E] soap reacts with the water [Ab] and the color will essentially just bleed [B] off.
This is the bottom of it.
[Bb] Soap it up, you know, and there's like water sprayers on it, [Gb] blade shots.
You get the [Db] bleed really coming.
_ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ [Eb]
The song American Idiot [Ab] just came about without thinking about any repercussions [Bb] whatsoever.
It is sort of the confusion [Eb] that's going on [Ab] in sort of American pop culture.
And I think that the [Eb] administration that's in office right now, I have [Ab] a problem with that, I don't agree with.
It doesn't represent me.
[Bb] I'm just trying to raise a discussion to [Gb] where it's trying to [Ab] make sense of it.
_ _ _ _ [Db] For [Gb] _ [Db] _
[C] me, it's a very [Eb] American thing to do is to [Gb] write a song like [C] American Idiot.
Here we [Fm] are at the warm [N] liquid goose stage of our video.
Sam Beyer there is just gleefully awaiting.
[Bb] Hopefully by six o'clock, seven, [Gb] they're covered in paint and we're finishing [N] the video.
Here it's not very warm either.
You might see a little more green day than you anticipate.
See that thing over there?
[Ab] That thing is going to help [Bb] disperse all sorts of gooey [D] magma.
I'm Gary D'Amico, special effects [N] coordinator, mechanical effects.
We have three 850 gallon dump tanks.
We're going to [Gm] discharge that all at once.
It's going to come under [E] the flag, down the flag, through the [N] speakers.
And it's just going to make a mess.
It's going to be all over the place.
It's going to be pretty cool.
[Bbm] Gary, _ [Bb] it's two.
Two tanks, one on each side and one coming under the flag.
It's going to be huge.
It's going to be [Fm] big.
Stay tuned.
You're going to have a good time.
[N] You're going to get wet with it.
You're going to probably lose some camera equipment in the process.
[Eb] But we're [Bb] spending a lot of money on this video.
We'll buy you a new camera.
[N] There you go.
Good kid.
You're a [Ab] good kid.
_ [Gb] _ _ _ [F] _ [E] _
_ _ [Eb] _ [Ab] _ [E] _ _ [Gb] _
When the water comes through it blows [Ab] these out.
Give me a camera.
Oh, [Bbm] no.
_ Yeah, that's the same.
[Ebm] That's the same.
[F] _ _
[Gb] Back here, back here.
Give me a cigarette.
_ [N] _ _
[Ab] Give me some [Bbm] of that thick tape.
[Gb] _ _ [F] It's insane.
[N] Screaming people going [Bb] ballistic.
Give me that camera [Dm] again.
I heard he [D] gets the job done, though.
[E] See what I'm doing, [Eb] George?
[Ab] _ [Gb] _
Yeah.
_ _ _ _ _ [C] Give me another roller.
_ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
[N] _ It's my hand on the camera.
It's the only way I know how to do things. _
That is why my pants are ruined, why my boots are ruined, why I'm all sweaty.
When it comes to painting the set, the art direction, my hands are on as many things.
I want things to look a certain way.
It's the only [Eb] way I know how to do it.
[Bbm] We're out of time.
Shoot it.
I'm sorry.
I've got to go.
[Gb]
Go.
Roll [Bb] playback, please.
[Ab] _ [Db] _ _ _ _
_ [Ab] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _
[Ab] _ _ _ _ _ [Db] _ _ _
_ [Ab] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Ab] _ [Db] _ [Gbm] _ _ [Ab] _ [Db] _ _
[Gbm] _ [Ab] _ [N] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
_ _ Nice.
Keep going, Tim.
Look at that.
[N] Bam.
Oh, yeah. _ _ _ _
_ You guys happy?
Yeah, totally.
What I told Green Day is I'd like this video to look as good 10 years from now as it does now.
Done.
Wrapped.
Ladies and gentlemen, that [Bb] _
_ [E] is a wrap.
This is our new video.
We haven't seen it yet by Mr.
[C] Samuel Beer, and it's called American Idiot.
So the world premiere [Gb] will be happening in five. _ _ _ _
[N] _ It's being worked. _ _ _ _
