 FROM CHEROUBIN
 So, at the beginning, just read the following words to get smarter:

   -I am from Poland so I don't know how my English correct is.
   -This is totally my own work, cause I couldn't find any                 =
transcriptions of this song. I am not a plagiarist, ha, just           reme=
mber it well.
   -I have only accoustic guitar, not electric, so some of teqniques       =
used in song are unknown to me. In these parts I may be mistaken;      you =
know, wrong octave or something else. My Yamaha cannot play        thrill n=
ote or other shit. BUT it is very good guitar...
   -Then, I am not professional player and tablatures' creator, so I       =
don't use weird signs like those guys, who make Metallica's            tran=
scriptions. So, the way is simple, all distortions are to          analyze,=
 I use only my hearing and microphone, funny, isn't it?
   -I am not patient enough to write monumental tables, so timing and      =
beating are to check on. I put here only main idea, you know.
   -All comments please send on
				     cheroubin@poczta.onet.pl

   -It's very important to me, to exchange transcriptions and              =
experience
   -If you have any transcriptions of metal bands' songs, just please      =
send me (Cradle of Filth, Marduk, Hades, Anathema, Annihilator,        Mano=
war or Mercyful Fate, hehe, maybe Offspring...)
   -Thank you, and there is:


OFFSPRING
"Americana" from "Americana" album
04.02.2001
from Cheroubin


	So, it's the one, which stimulated my very friend to buy this album. I thi=
nk, that is good one, too, and I decided to "break" it. Then, yo have it, f=
rom Cheroubin the Perversing...

1.First come drums, then the following guitar and then bass. I'm not very s=
ure about it, because first note is indeed G (absolutely certainly), but ma=
ybe in another octave. O.k. so how to play in this way D-chord? (pow5)
E-|-------------------------------|
B-|-------------------------------|
G-|-12-----14-----14-12-9---7-9-9-| so, the fill is much harder
D-|-12-----14-----14-12-9---7-9-9-| to transcribe but I think, its
A-|-10-----12-----12-10-7---5-7-7-| notes are same but an octave lower
E-|-------------------------------|


2.Screaming vocal with the main riff of the song, just the verse.
E-|-----------------------------|
B-|-----------------------------|
G-|-first---9--7--9--12--14--12-|   all chords slay once
D-|--pick---9--7--9--12--14--12-|
A-|-slide---7--5--7--10--12--10-|
E-|-----------------------------|


3.Just after that and during, too, the fill is
E-|----------------------------------------------------|
B-|---pm-----------------------------------------------|
G-|--/-|-\-----------------9---4---9-here-the previous-| all notes
D-|-2--5--7--10-10--12-12--9---4---9-verse-riff--------| several times
A-|-2--5--7--10-10--12-12--7---2---7-------------------|
E-|-0--3--5---8--8--10-10------------------------------|


4."Well, fuck ya...". So now it's the chorus.
E-|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
B-|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
G-|-12-12-12\11/12--12-12-12-11-9--12-12-12\11/12--12-12\11/12-11-9-|
D-|-12-12-12\11/12--12-12-12-11-9--12-12-12\11/12--12-12\11/12-11-9-|
A-|-10-10-10\-9/10--10-10-10--9-7--10-10-10\-9/10--10-10\-9/10--9-7-|
E-|-----------------------------------------------------------------|


5.Here the second verse and once again chorus with one part more,
 it's just
E-|---------------|
B-|---------------|
G-|-12-12--7-7--9-|         "Yeah, has come true"
D-|-12-12--7-7--9-|
A-|-10-10--5-5--7-|
E-|---------------|


6.Bridge with single strikes

E-|------------------------|
B-|------------------------|
G-|-9---7-9---7-9----pick--|  "I'm a product of my enviroment..."
D-|-9---7-9---7-9---slide--|
A-|-7---5-7---5-7----------|
E-|------------------------|


7.Here the main riff and then this "rising" with palm-muting, just the vers=
e-ending riff, to finally enter the chorus.
