The Offspring: Conspiracy of One - Track 11 - Denial, Revisited

This was my first tab, but not the first posted :P

Alright... This song was quite easy to tab. This is how I play it,
although there are a few wrong parts.

Legend:
~ - Let ring
/ - Slide up
h - Hammer on
p - Pull off

Standard Tuning (E;A;D;G;B;e)

A few slides around the beginning of the song but I’m not
sure where they are. Here is what I got.

Riff A (Intro)

Riff B

Riff B is almost the same as the intro but uses power chords.

Riff D

This part is played softly in the background. I suggest
you try and listen to the rhythm from the track.

e|-5-----5---5h6p5|-----5----5h6p5-|----------------|
B|---6-6----6-----|--6-6----6------|----------------|
G|----------------|----------------|----------------|
D|----------------|----------------|----------------|

So here we go.. Having...

G|----------------|----------------|----------------|
D|----------------|----------------|----------------|

the same old fight again...

Riff E (Chorus End Riff)

e|----------------|----------------|----------------|

G|---------6-----8|----------------|----------------|
D|-6---8---6--6--8|----------------|----------------|
A|-6---8---4--6--6|----------------|----------------|
E|-4---6------4---|----------------|----------------|

Riff F (Chorus)

I’m not quite sure of the rhythm in this riff because
of the distortion going on. I just follow what I
originally wrote when working it out.

e|----------------|----------------|----------------|
B|----------------|----------------|----------------|
G|-3---3--3--3----|-------------5--|--5--5--5--5--5-|
D|-3---3--3--3---3|---3--3--3---5--|--5--3--3--3--3-|
A|-1---1--1--1---3|---3--3--3---3--|--3--3--3--3--3-|

If I could say... the right words...

D|-5--5--3--3--3-3|----------------|----------------|
A|-3--3--3--3--3-3|----------------|----------------|
