“I’ll Be Waiting” by the Offspring, from “Offspring”

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 🙂

“What happened to you?” – Offspring
From the album Smash
Tab transcription by Mark van ‘t Zet (tmvtzet@cs.vu.nl)

NOTE

This is played in the usual punk kind of fashion
so don’t strum all the strings of the chords below.
Mostly only the 3 strings lowest in pitch (which gives
the incredibly complex note formation known as the powerchord)

USED CHORDS

INTRO

What in the world happened to
you?

VERSE 1

Before you started joking you used to have a brain
But now you don’t get even the simplest of things
I draw a little picture or even use my hands
I try to explain, but you just don’t understand

CHORUS

(Hey, hey) Now you’re really losing it
(Hey, hey) Now you you really don’t allow that you’re gone
(Hey, hey) But you keep on abusing it
What in the world happened to
you?

VERSE 2
It’s not enough to do it, to do it to yourself
You’re taking someone with you well you know there’s something else
I said `I’m not that kind of person, I’m not that kind of man’
I try to explain, but you just don’t understand
CHORUS
(Hey, hey) Now you’re really losing it..

VERSE 4
I’m not unsympathetic, I cut a little snack
I thought that you were willing to give a little back
But you do it in the morning, you do it in the night
You lie to a friend from this daze in your life
So I’ll see you there tomorrow, be jacking off again
I’ll see you when I’m talking, by the time you understand
I think of all the times that I tried to lend a hand
I try to explain but you just don’t understand
CHORUS
(Hey, hey) Now you’re really losing it..
ENDING

What in the world happened to
What in the world happened to
What in the world happened to you?

TAB: No Hero by The Offspring
from Ignition
Transcribed by Andy Wilson (AWILSON@linden.msvu.ca)

o.k. I’m posting this song solely because it has a killer intro riff
that’s really fun to play. I’m posting the chorus to for a sense of
completeness but its sketchy so work on it yourself.

Intro (a little crunch , a boss chorus ensamble works well)
its hard to right out the tab so just listen to the CD

E ------------------------------------------------------------
B ------------------------------------------------------------
G ---------11-X-12--12----7--X-7--X--9-9----------7----------- REPEAT

E ---7--X---------------------------------5-X-5-X---7-7-7-7-7-

for the verse play the intro riff with distortion but muted

Pre-chorus (just barre chords all on the A string)

Chorus

“No Hero” by The Offspring
off “Ignition”

Ok, heres some riff’s from the Offspring song “No Hero”. They should be
pretty accurate. I didn’t put in any rhythm or anything so you’ll have to
listen to the song to get that.

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
-9p7-9p7-9p7-1[)]0-

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#

Okay, I’ve tabbeed this because I got sick of looking around
the olga and finding stuff. It took me around 5 minutes to
tab this, so you should be able to work this song out in 5 min
using this tab. 🙂

And please leave me a e-mail at leech@webexpress.net.au and comment

Well, I’m not sure if the words are 100% correct, so if not please
mail me at leech@webexpress.net.au and get me right

Mota!

Everyday, well it’s the same
That bong that’s on the table starts to call
My name
I take a hit and zone out again
I’ll be paranoid and hungry by a quarter to ten

Watching reruns on my TV
I’m laughing off my ass at Three’s Company
I don’t know if I’m understood
Buy hearing Jimmy Buffett never sounded so good

-CHORUS-
Your memory’s gone and so is your life (your life)
Mota Boy
But losing out just never felt so right
Your enemy’s you and so is your life (your life)
Mota Boy
But losing out might feel okay all night
Mota!

I’m driving down to the barrio
Going 15 miles an hour cause I’m already stoned
Give the guy a twenty and wait in the car
He tosses me a baggie then he runs real far

I take a hit but it smells like a clove
Oh fuck I got a baggie of oregano
This ritual is destroying me
But I guess it could be worse
It could be methedrine

Your memory’s gone and so is your life (your life)
Mota Boy
But losing out just never felt so right
Your enemy’s you and your couch is your life
(Your Life)
Mota Boy
But losing out might take
Losing out might take you all night
Mota!
