Meaning of Life
By Offspring
from the album IXNAY ON THE HOMBRE
Transcribed by: Fernando Reule jcreule@centroin.com.br

	Here goes another from this great band. It's all played in riffs (at
least, that's the way I call it, don't know if it's wright).

intro:

Distortion Guitar:

  D  F  D   C   F      F  D   F  G       G->G#->G  F   D      F  C
|--------------------|-----------------|--------------------|---------

|--------------------|-----------------|--------------------|---------

|-7--10---------10---|-10-----10-12----|-12/13/12--10--7----|-10------

-------------|
|-7--10-12--10--10---|-10-12--10-12----|-12/13/12--10--7----|-10-10--(

repeat)------|
|-5--8--12--10--8----|-8--12--8--10----|-10/13/10--8---5----|-8--10---

-------------|
|-------10--8--------|----10-----------|--------------------|----8----

-------------|


	Then goes:

	D   E->F   C  A#  A  (repeat)


Refrain:

	    A#  C  F   C->D
	(D)OH yeah, (A#)oh yeah, (C)open mind and they'll (F)show their
meaning (C)of (D)life. (repeat--> can't remember the lyrics.)

	(D)OH yeah, (A#)oh yeah, (C)open mouth and you'll (F)swallow their
meaning (C)of (A#)life, can't make it by your way(C). Thanks, but no
thanks(D).

	I guess you can take it from this. Any mistakes? Please, you know
what to do!
	Peace!

verse 1 (first part without guitar)

The second part isn't as easy as it seems.
You have to play a lot of dead notes or palm muted notes
between the power chords.

I am not sure about the part after the
refrain is played the second time. Try to
figure it out and e-mail your result to me.
