[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
Haushinka is a girl with a peculiar name
I met her on the eve of my birthday
Did she know, did she know, before she went away
Does she know, does she know, but it's too damn late

[Chorus]
This girl has gone far away, now she's gone
This girl has gone far away, now she's gone
This girl has gone far away, now she's gone
This girl has gone far away, now she's gone
Now she's gone, now she's all gone

[Verse 2]
All I have now is a memory to date
A cheap hat and cigarettes, and a peculiar name
I didn't know, I didn't know, before she went away
I know now, I know now, and it's too damn late

[Chorus]
This girl has gone far away, now she's gone
This girl has gone far away, now she's gone
This girl has gone far away, now she's gone
This girl has gone far away, now she's gone
Now she's gone, now she's all gone

[Bridge]
Will she ever find her way
I'm too damn young to be too late, but am I?
Yet again I'm kicking myself
And I'll be here in battle scars, waiting for you, waiting for you now

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
This girl has gone far away, now she's gone
This girl has gone far away, now she's gone
This girl has gone far away, now she's gone
This girl has gone far away, now she's gone
Now she's gone, now she's all gone

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.
