Basket Case Chords is a classic punk rock anthem by Green Day from their 1994 album Dookie. The song bursts with high-energy, fast-paced guitar work and raw, angsty lyrics that define the 90s punk revival. It is composed in the key of G Major and uses a six-chord progression of G, D, Em, Bm, C, and F with no capo required. A great song for developing fast strumming endurance and mastering barre chord changes under pressure.
