TABBED by Neil James

This is my favorite song off their “new” album, cool lyrics and guitar.
the most part, alot of the lead is right, but there’s some stuff I wasn’
sure about. Didn’t tab out the whole solo during the bassline in the mi
Sorry, for free, this is all you get 🙂

Jennifer Lost the War, by the Offspring (self titled)

TABBED by Neil James, Neil.James@tclbbs.com

Well, I picked up their re-release of their 89 album today, and it’s
pretty decent, this is my favorite song off it.

There’s a lot of cute little riffs in this song

Riff 1 – This is played halfway through each chorus
It isn’t right either, but it sounds pretty close

Riff 2 — This is played after the first chorus
Play it fast, it’s hard to tell the first part of it, but even if you ca
play it, mess around in an E blues scale, and it’ll sound fine.

Riff 3 — This is played after the second chorus
This is all I could make of it, you’ll have to play it at lightning spee
and even then it sounds wrong. At least it doesn’t last very long 🙂

The little intro thing is E(hi) D C#, D C# B

(Drums only here)
Jennifer lost the war today, they’ll find her burnt and raped

Through it all she must have wondered what have I done

E(lo) A D E(hi)
But nobody really cares today the world’s a busy place

Guess she must’ve really sinned ahh, really sinned ahh

I guess we’re all just soldiers

E(hi)
She was only six years old

Left to die by strangers

(Riff 1)
While her family waits

And if we’re all just soldiers

E(hi) D B
Is it so wrong to be afraid

B (Riff 2)
Jennifer lost the war

E(lo) A D E(hi)
Phoebe lost the war today there must be some mistake

Say it happens all the time and it’s said and done

E(lo) A D E(hi)
Little miss fifteen sixtyfive your soul remains unclaimed

Guess you must have really sinned, ahh

Morality won’t help her

E(hi)
When she lies silent in a morgue

And all our sorrows

Riff 1
Just don’t count at all

But will the morning headlines

E(hi) D
Even say that it’s a shame

What we’re heading for

B (Riff 3)
Jennifer Lost the war

B(mute) D C#
Seen it all before,

A E(lo)
Silent on the ground as he’s walking away

B(mute) D C#
