The Offspring - Original Prankster
Tabbed by: Sean Stinson

This song is awful, but I tabbed it out anyway.

INTRO:
|-----------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------|
|-----------------------------7-----|
|---------5-------------------7-----|
|-0-0-3-0---0-3-0---0-0-3-0---5-----|
|-----------------------------------|

Main riff:
The rhythm is pretty hard to get. This riff is palm muted
during the verse.
|--------------------------------|
|--------------------------------|
|--------------------------------|
|---------5----------------------|
|-0-0-3-0--0-0-5p0-5p0-0-5---3---|
|--------------------------------|
| Stop here to end intro.

The buildup riff is just G5 and E5 power chords.

PRECHORUS:
|--------------------------|
|--------------------------|
|-2--5--9-9---7-7-7-7--5---|
|-2--5--9-9---7-7-7-7--5---|
|-0--3--7-7---5-5-5-5--3---|
|--------------------------|


CHORUS: Play 3 x
|------------------------|
|------------------8-8-8-|
|-2-2--5-5--7-7-7--7-7-7-|
|-2-2--5-5--7-7-7--5-5-5-|
|-0-0--3-3--5-5-5--------|
|------------------------|

Then:
|---------------|
|-8-------8-----|
|-7-7-----7-7---|
|-5-7-----5-7---|
|---5-------5---|
|---------------|
The high A can be fingered like this:
|-----|
|-----|
|-12--|
|-12--|
|-10--|
|-----|
But, the other way is easier, and sounds better.

BRIDGE:

|-----------------------------------------------|
|-8-8-8-8-8-8-----------------------------------|
|-7-7-7-7-7-7-----------------------------------|
|-5-5-5-5-5-5-------------------------5---------|
|----------------0-0-3-0-0----0-0-3-0---0-3-0---|
|-----------------------------------------------|

|----------------------|
|----------------------|
|---------------7------|
|---------------7------|
|-0-0-3-0-0-----5------|
|----------------------| Then it goes into the verse.


End on A5.

----------

There you go. Pretty easy. Listen to the song to get
the rhythm right and piece it together. I'm almost
positive that it's right.

Next: Good Charlotte - Little Things, Nevermore - Dreaming Neon Black
