The Offspring
Tab
4.0(25)

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

Intro

G F C

e|--------------------------------------------------------
B|--------------------------------------------------------
G|----------------5---------------------------------------
D|------5----3----5---------------------------------------
A|------5----3----3---------------------------------------
E|------3----1--------------------------------------------

(They're the chords - I hate tabbing rhythm, but I

use sort of `d dudu u dd', and finger mute in the fast

`dudu' you'll get a nice sound, which will be pretty

much what offspring have)

(This is just the upper range on a D Aeolian (major)

I forget how many times it is played (2, I think)...but

just listen to the CD and count `em... :)

Verse 1

(No guitar...but you could play the bass notes - G, F, C -

if you get too bored... :P

(BTW: I haven't got the words...in case you haven't

noticed...)

(At the end, there's a bit of a solo on G, on the D string

- the 5th fret. It's all distorted anyway, so the rhythm

doesn't matter so much.)

Chorus

Dog Eat dog...(something like that... :P )

E|-----3----6---------------------------------------------|

Verse 2

Same story as 1 - it's mostly bassy...

at the end, play the intro chords - G, F, C.

(Okay: this is palm muted, with big-time distortion. I

reckon it'd be nice to chuck the reverb on a bit, too,

but I haven't yet tried it. They are just powerchords

(same chords as the chorus). I don't know

how many times to repeat (my big failing... :P ) but just

listen to the CD and count `em...To end up)
