1000 HoursGreen Day

Songwriter: Billie Joe Armstrong

Producer: Green Day Andy Ernst

[Verse 1]
Starlit night
The moon is shining bright
You are the one that I need
Up at your window
I see a shadow
Silhouette of your grace
Here's this flower
I picked for all the hours
That you've spent with me
The one I love
That I've been dreaming of
Sailing across the sea

[Chorus]
Let my hands flow through your hair
Moving closer, a kiss we'll share
Passionate love to be all night long
We'll never break, as one too strong

[Verse 2]
Nothing's more
Than what our love is for
As I kiss your cheek
Oh, so softly
Hands flowing down my back
1,000 hours, I'll never leave
Our romance
Is a love trance
And now we'll never part
1,000 hours
Of such a love shower
We'll never stop, once we start

[Chorus]
Let my hands flow through your hair
Moving closer, a kiss we'll share
Passionate love to be all night long
We'll never break, as one too strong

[Chorus]
Let my hands flow through your hair
Moving closer, a kiss we'll share
Passionate love to be all night long
We'll never break, as one too strong

[Guitar Solo]
Ahhh...

Green Day

Formed in East Bay, California in 1986 and still going strong today, Green Day is one of the biggest punk rock acts in the world. Along with other punk bands in California such as The Offspring, Sublime, Bad Religion and Rancid, they have been credited with popularizing and reviving mainstream interest in punk rock in the U.S. in the 90s.

First starting in 1986 as Sweet Children, longtime friends Billie Joe Armstrong (guitar and lead vocalist) and Mike Dirnt (bass guitar) teamed up with John Kiffmeyer to produce their debut EP 1,000 Hours. They eventually dropped the name Sweet Children and called themselves Green Day due to the band members' fondness for cannabis (it even inspired a song featured on their first album) and for their second studio album Kerplunk they replaced Kiffmeyer with German-born drummer Tré Cool, who had been drumming since the age of 12 in a punk band, The Lookouts.

It was their 1994 record Dookie that sent the band to stardom and gave them mainstream success. Dookie, alongside their following albums Insomniac (1995) and Nimrod (1997) were certified double platinum. Eventually, the band started to fall in popularity with their 2000 record Warning which only reached gold.
