This isn't anywhere close to the exact rhytm, but you can probably figure the right one out by listening to it.

Here's the funky part of the solo it reminds me of that song that goes: Do your ears hang low do they wobble too and fro, can you tie them in a knot, can you tie them in a bow. Well, it kinda does
Too many notes to tab out, so just stop playing when noodles does E:-----------------------------------------------------------: B:--11----11----11----11----11----11----11----11----11---11\-: G:-----13----13----13----13----13----13----13----13---13-----: D:-----------------------------------------------------------: A:-----------------------------------------------------------: E:-----------------------------------------------------------:

I cant be arsed with the words, this is a tb site, not a lyrics site, if there are such

with the palm muting, if youve no idea woss goin on, its the middle 10 chords out of each
section of 12 that gets palm muted!

__________________________ / Offspring / I think this really serious song is about this low class-American / The Kids Aren't Alright / who looks back at his childhood in the American ghetto, and realizes / Americana / that he and his friends never really had a chance to move upwards /_________________________/ through the American social classes. Quite thought-provoking.
INTRO: 1st Guitar plays this twice and 2nd Guitar plays in second time.
