Green Day - keys

I am going over 2 Green Day songs - Holiday and When I Come Around.

I'm wondering if someone knows what keys these songs are played in on their respective recordings?

I'm supposed to play Holiday in the key of E and When I Come Around in the key of F and of course I'm not sure if this s deviates from the original recordings by Green Day...so if anyone knows please, enlighten me some

Thanks a bunch TB!

Holiday is originally in F, and When I Come Around is originally F sharp.

Vandelay is correct... keep in mind Holiday is played in standard tuning and When I Come Around is played in Eb.

Thanks guys. Unless I hear different on here (or in front of them on the day haha) I'll presume they're changing the key of When I Come Around to compensate for not tuning down their instruments, which shouldn't be too much to work out.

Thanks again.
