Boulevard of Broken Dreams Chords & Guitar Lesson
Welcome to my Boulevard of Broken Dreams chord chart by Green Day. This song was a popular single from Green Day’s Grammy Award-winning 2004 American Idiot album, which would later inspire a musical.
Like many of Green Day’s songs, this is a fun song to play and great for beginners, with a slower tempo than most punk rock songs and chord changes occurring generally every two beats (twice per measure).
