By Offspring
from the album IXNAY ON THE HOMBRE
Transcribed by: Fernando Reule jcreule@centroin.com.br
Here goes another from this great band. It's all played in riffs (at
least, that's the way I call it, don't know if it's wright).
intro:
Distortion Guitar:
D F D C F F D F G G->G#->G F D F C
|--------------------|-----------------|--------------------|----------------------|
|--------------------|-----------------|--------------------|----------------------|
|-7--10---------10---|-10-----10-12----|-12/13/12--10--7----|-10-------------------|
|-7--10-12--10--10---|-10-12--10-12----|-12/13/12--10--7----|-10-10--(repeat)------|
|-5--8--12--10--8----|-8--12--8--10----|-10/13/10--8---5----|-8--10----------------|
|-------10--8--------|----10-----------|--------------------|----8-----------------|
Then goes:
D E->F C A# A (repeat)
Refrain:
A# C F C->D
(D)OH yeah, (A#)oh yeah, (C)open mind and they'll (F)show their
meaning (C)of (D)life. (repeat--> can't remember the lyrics.)
(D)OH yeah, (A#)oh yeah, (C)open mouth and you'll (F)swallow their
meaning (C)of (A#)life, can't make it by your way(C). Thanks, but no
thanks(D).
I guess you can take it from this. Any mistakes? Please, you know
what to do!
Peace!

verse 1 (first part without guitar)
The second part isn't as easy as it seems.
You have to play a lot of dead notes or palm muted notes
between the power chords.

I am not sure about the part after the
refrain is played the second time. Try to
figure it out and e-mail your result to me.
