Come Out And Play

Offspring

Text File

Alright, I've seen a several tabs out there for this song that were pretty good, but 
weren't perfect. This is the best, most efficient way I know how to play this song.

Drum intro. Then comes bass. (The notes in the brackets {[2]} are played the last time around.)

Intro
G|--------------------------------|
D|--0-------0-------0-------0-----|  x2
A|2-----0-2-----0-2-----0-2-----0-|[2]
E|----2-------2-------2-------2---|

Listen to the timing in the song to get it perfect.
This next part serves as the guitar riff.

Riff
G|--------------------------------|
D|--------------------------------|  x4
A|2-2-2-2-----0-0-2-2-2-2-----0-0-|[2]
E|--------2-2-------------2-2-----|

It undergoes a slight change upon entering the verse.

Verse
G|-------------------------------------------------------|
D|----------------------0---------------------------0----|  x2
A|2-2-2-2-----0-0-2-2-2-----0-2-2-2-2-----0-0-2-2-2-----0|
E|--------2-2-------------2-----------2-2-------------2--|

Switch over to the D-string for the pre-chorus.

Pre-Chorus
G|-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|2-2-5-5-4-4-----2-2-5-5-4-4-----------------------0-----4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4|
A|------------2-2-------------2-2-2-2-----0-0-2-2-2-----0----------------|
E|------------------------------------2-2-------------2------------------|

Then launch right into the chorus.
The big [REST] is when the "keep 'em seperated" is said.

Chorus
