Am        C
  Another shooting
      F    Dm
 in a supermarket
Am         C
I spent my money on a

 bloody, soft target
Am             C
  Playing with matches
         F            Dm
and I'm lighting Colorado
Am         C
  I got my scratcher
         F             Dm
and I'm gonna win the lotto

[Chorus]
Am
  Congratulations,
best of luck and blessings
F
 We're all together and

we're living in the '20s

  Salutations on another era

I'm fcking it senseless
Am              C

 and only speaks in English

How to play Living In The 20S: key, chords and progression

These are Living In The 20S chords by Green Day on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.

Living In The 20S by Green Day is in the key of A minor (no sharps or flats). The song uses 8 chords: Am, C, F, Dm, Bm, D, G and Em.

Listen for Am – C – F – Dm (i – III – VI – iv in A minor): the song comes back to it again and again. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Good to know: F and Bm are played as barre or movable shapes on guitar. Practise the change into them slowly; on piano and ukulele the same chords are easier.
