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 )
G bB F C

E-----3----6---------------------------------------------
Rhythm? I double strum a bit because it feels good. ;)
Otherwise, I guess you could match the singer...but I
reckon anything would sound good, since the distortion is
probably up to 10 already...
Then, play that riff a few times (again, how many is
something beyond my knowledge...)
Verse 2:
Same story as 1 - it's mostly bassy...
at the end, play the intro chords - G, F, C.
Bridge:
Our time is up.....

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:
Chorus

End on a G powerchord and let ring...
