Easy to play and cool lyrics. Also very easy to find the right rhythm. Only
tough part is when you change between the chorus and intro. Ready to kill
your guitar?!

done. That was really something!

CROSSROADS
TAB: Crossroads, from the Offspring's self-titled
ORIGINALLY TABBED BY: Neil James
REDONE BY: Delirium
Brought to you by Delirium's Offspring Page -
http://members.aol.com/delirium4u/offspring.htm - Where you'll find
the most accurate tabs
Ok, Neil did a pretty good job here, but the intro sounded wrong to me, so
I redid it. The verse is also completely redone. I also changed a bunch
of the rythms, times you play each note, and a couple of the notes, in
Riff 1B.
This is one of the more difficult Offspring songs. Once you get the hang
of it, it's easy, but playing the rhythm is very tricky at first. To figure
out the rhythm, you're simply going to have to listen to the CD, because, it's
weird. The guitar chords for the most part follow the vocals, but the chord
changes are rapid, so you'll just have to go through it until you think it
sounds right. This is how I play it, and it sounds right to me, so with
any luck, it will for you :)

RIFF 1:
Bass riff 1A (I don't play bass, so I took it out, since it doesn't fit
with the redone riff 1B.)
Guitar riff 1B - Neil originally had power chords, but I think it's
octaves instead. Mute the string in between with your index finger to
play them.

Play Bass riff 1a, then guitar 1b, then bass 1a, then guitar 1b, then verse
Verse: play 2x. You can either play the full 3-note power chord or just
the lower two notes - I can't tell exactly what Noodles is playing.

Play riff 1, followed by the verse and chorus, and voila, you're finished!
It sounds right to me, but probably is wrong :) But that's life. And that's
what you get for being too damn lazy to tab it out yourself :)
Well, hopefully it's even more right now, but probably not perfect :)

This songs intro is very very fun to play. This was kinda easy to tab, but
there might be some mistakes in the bridges. The two tiny solos played at
the verse time are chopped off, because I had no time and besides you can
play this without them. Have fun! (a lot)
Do some scrap off!

TEHRAN

One of the first Offspring songs ever made (other version of Baghdad), which
has many cool Arabian guitar riffs. I think this is the paragon of Come out
and Play. You`ll see that in many places there are two guitars, like in intro.

BLACKBALL
TAB: Black Ball, from the Offspring's self-titled album
TABBED BY: Neil James
This is the last of the Offspring tabs I'm sending here. I hope you enjoyed
them all. Since OLGA is never updated, new tabs have to go somewhere. Also,
since I was nice enough to tab five songs here, I would be eternally indebted
if somebody would tab out "Demons" "Out on Patrol" "A Thousand Days" "Tehran"
or "Take it Like a Man" for me. I'm too tired and lazy to go on anymore, and
one would make me happy for a while.
Okay, enough lecturing :) Black Ball is a fairly easy tab until the middle
part beginning with the solo. I'm a little shaky on it, it doesn't sound
exactly right, but it suffices. The rest of the song is easy.

Play this nifty little riff for the entire intro and verse, and
when you get to the chorus, you can play this.

Win the battle lose the war..... ...were still real.
Middle part, solo:

|-2-ring------------------------7-----------------7---7-5-7-5-4-5-4---|
|-0-----------------------------------------------------------------7-|
That isn't all of the solo, it's only the first part. I'm doing this
from memory, and that's all I remember :) The same notes used here
are used throughout the rest of the solo, so improvisation is okay.
It's here that an acoustic-style guitar enters, playing this riff,
with the distorted electric kicking in on the eighth bar.

Then, for the second part of the bridge, I don't think this is right, but
it sounds okay, so you'll have to try it and e-mail me if you think it
sounds different.

In the style of forgotten men I look to my horizon
I see nothing
While thoughts of guns and desecration sweep through my mind
Only coffins and bones remain
As I look to see the emptiness behind your eyes, seals my decision
Can't carry on in a world of jugglers
Where all this thoughtlessness and bludgeonings, your key to success
What kind of tradition to carry on.
And from here, it's verse, chorus, and chop it off on an E. Have a blast.

This is quite a easy one. That 12-string-acoustic-guitar-part is none of my
business so I left it to guys who play 12-string-acoustic-guitar. I am not
100% sure about the bridge and solo parts, but they sound okay.

Wow! This is the fastest and hardest Offspring song that I have ever tabbed.
The solos are missing, but I`ll make it up some day (I already know the
start). The rhythm might be hard to find. Anyway - good luck!
