The song is very easy to play, but it is a really sad song. You know the song meaning by the one verse

"Like my fathers come to pass
Seven years has gone so fast
Wake me up when September ends"

His father died seven years before the song was written due to cancer, and he must have died in September, so he wants September to end fast to stay out of the misery of his Dad. I am depressed again now.

Edit: I figured out that the seven years part wouldn't make since. Seven years is the amount of time his dad had cancer.

but there is more to it. at the funeral billie joe couldnt take it (lead singer) so he ran home, he was ten at the time. his mother followed him home only to find his bedroom door to be locked. when she asked him to please come out he replied with "' wake me up when september ends'' HE WAS ONLY TEN!!!
