TAB:  Elders, from the Offspring's self-titled
TABBED BY:  Neil James 

This song isn't really that hard, I got the whole solo down, but for some
reason, it's a bitch to play and sing at the same time.  But, the area of
Offspring tabs is lacking, so I'm helping out as best I can.

Intro/Verse:
Play this numerous times (follow the record)
|-------------------------------------------|

       *---Palm Mute---*

When we were younger, always seemed like there was
Some perfect mold we were supposed to be
But now I've grown up, and I've seen it's just not that way
And now I feel like someone's lied to me

Chorus:
This is hard to get rhythm right, so follow the song.  Repeat it twice though
|--------------------------------------------------------------------|

  *-Pmute-*          *-Pmute-*          *-Pmute-*

Do the second verse and second chorus exactly as you did the first, and
then you can progress to the solo (Which I'm positive on for once!)

~ = Vibrato
) = Bend

|-8-6-8-drumbeats-8-6-8-drumbeats-4-3-4-----------6----8---------|
|-6-4-6-----------6-4-6------------------------------------------|

Play the chorus, and intro/verse again.  For the outro, simply play
the verse, but don't palm mute everything.  Chop it off on a nice D#
to end the song.  Have fun!
