This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

*Important!* This is my own interpretation

of the song, and is not ripped off from a

music book etc.

Artist/Group : The Offspring

Title : Conspiracy Of One

Album : Conspiracy Of One (Track 13, 2mins-17secs)

What a mad song! It just had to be tabbed, and is pretty

easy, but it pretty fast. Conspiracy Of One? Haven't a

clue what it's about, but it rocks. Check out the pictures

on the album cover - wierd. Anyway enjoy.

[Notice this part is the same as the intro]

*********************Play Verse**********************

This time the verse is the same, but the two sets of

lyrics are swapped round in a fiendish ploy to make

it sound like there's more words. But there's not.

The guitar part is exactly the same, except there's

no pick slide into the chorus.

*********************Play Chorus**********************

Now this is different. Play it normally until Dexter

sings "Conspiracy of One", then repeat the chorus again,

skipping the bit that is the same as the intro.

Second time through when you get to "Conspiracy of one,

again skip the bit that's the same as the intro, and go

to the middle 8. (You'll know what mean when you listen

to the track)

*********************Middle 8*************************

Guess what? - Distorted Guitar!

*********************Play Chorus**********************

Play the chorus like you did the second time, but instead

of cutting to the middle 8, cut to the outro.

And there you have it! All comments, etc to my address at the top.

What a cool song! I'm going to see The Offspring @ London Arena, 21st

January 2001. It's gonna rock!

If you've read any of my previous tabs you'll know that I despise poor

tabs. Why make a tab without words, chord names? Why make a tab that's

wrong? It doesn't help anybody! Also tabs with this in piss me off as

well :-"I couldn't figure the intro or verse. But here's half the

chorus."AHHHHHHHHH! What could be more annoying? So PLEASE think about doing

a tab if you know it's gonna be poor.

Also e-mail me about anything! I don't want to be just another tab guy

who everyone ignores. Like the tab? Did a gig with it? Got problems?

Mail me!

Ps :- Happy New Year to all Guitar Players. (Bad or Good)
