The Offspring - I Choose (Ixnay on the Hombre)
Tabbed by :Tom Penrose (ToMaRSE) [t.penrose@mailbox.uq.edu.au]

* - repeat about 4 times
x - left hand mute

The main part of this song is accurate but the solo I'm not so sure about.
All the finger positions there are pretty accurate it is just the strumming
and the high fret notes which are difficult.  I suggest try work out the
strumming by playing with the solo on CD using my tabbing for a bit of
assistance.

Intro:  Play once with guitar only then 3 times with bass and drums
|---------------------------|
|-7--8--7-xxxx--------------|
|-7--7--7-xxxx--------------|
|-7--7--7-xxxx-3--3--5--5-5-|
|-5--5--5-xxxx-3--3--5--5-5-|
|------------- 1--1--3--3-3-|

Verse: Just Bass and Percussion until "When I was a..." then play
       the intro again 4 times.

Chorus riff 1:  Play this 2 times...
|--------------|
|--------------|
|-7*-7*-5*-----|
|-7*-7*-5*-5*--|
|-5*-5*-3*-5*--|
|----------3*--|
Chorus riff 2:  Play this ("...or a playground if we choose") once
|---------------------------|
|---------------------------|
|-7*-7*-10*-12*-------------|
|-7*-7*-10*-12*-8*-8*-7*-7--|
|-5*-5*-8*--10*-8*-8*-7*-7--|
|---------------6*-6*-5*-5--|

Repeat all this again then go into solo.

Solo: Fairly Complicated. Tabbing a bit off here
