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
G------------------------------------------------10------
D--------------------------------------------------------
A--------------------------------------------------------
E--------------------------------------------------------

E--------------------------------------------------------
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!
