This song is pretty simple. There are two parts in the song: Verse and Chorus. The difficult part of the song is the rhythm in the Intro, Verse and Chorus. The 16th notes are played with open strings; they are only used as a transition between the chords. So, if you have a hard time with the rhythm below, you can simply disregard the 16th notes. The only important thing is to play the anticipation of the chord of B5.
I believe that Green Day plays this song with their guitars tunes in Eb standard, which means that the solo during the bridge would be played a little bit differently, but the notes are the same.
