Offspring - Genocide guitar tab

TAB OF:
"Genocide" by The Offspring
From the album "Smash"
Transcribed by Daniel Stephensen
I know that this album is getting pretty dated now, but
this is my favourite track off it, and a great driving
song.
Since nobody has sent a song tab of Genocideto any FTP
yet, I thought I'd lay down my version. Enjoy!
Intro:
G F C
E--------------------------------------------------------
B--------------------------------------------------------
G----------------5---------------------------------------
D------5----3----5---------------------------------------
A------5----3----3---------------------------------------
E------3----1--------------------------------------------
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.
Riff 1:
E--------------------------------------------------------
B---11-11-11-10-10-11-11-13-13-13-11-11-11-10-10----10-10

D--------------------------------------------------------
A--------------------------------------------------------

B---10-10h11--10-----------------------------------------
G--------------------9-9-9-9h10p9----9-------------------
D-----------------10--------------12---------------------
A--------------------------------------------------------
E--------------------------------------------------------
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--------------------------------------------------------
B--------------------------------------------------------
G---------------10----5----------------------------------
D-----5----8----10----5----------------------------------
A-----5----8----8-----3----------------------------------
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.....
bE C
E--------------------------------------------------------
B--------------------------------------------------------
G----8-----------5---------------------------------------
D----8-----------5---------------------------------------
A----6-----------3---------------------------------------
E--------------------------------------------------------
One two three four....
Chorus - G, bB, F, C
Riff 1
Riff 2:
E--------------------------------------------------------
B--------------------------------------------------------
G--------------------------------------------------------
D-------------------------------------10---10---10---10--
A-----5---5---5---5---8---8---8---8-8----8----8----8-----
E---3---3---3---3---6---6---6---6------------------------
E--------------------------------------------------------
B--------------------------------------------------------
G--------------------------------------------------------
D-----5---5---5---5---(etc)------------------------------
A---3---3---3---3----------------------------------------
E--------------------------------------------------------
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
Riff 1
End on a G powerchord and let ring...
E--------------------------------------------------------
B--------------------------------------------------------
G--------------------------------------------------------
D----5---(let ring)--------------------------------------
A----5---------------------------------------------------
E----3---------------------------------------------------
There ya go folks! Great song (nice riff) - Enjoy!
