Official OFFSPRING Tablature & Sheet Music »
AMERICANA by THE OFFSPRING from AMERICANA (1998)
This is the title song of the 5th Offspring-album. It´s a little bit hard to play
because you must move your left hand quickly.
The lyrics´s are also fucking great - they´re explaining the American way of life.
For the Intro, you must tune the low E-string down till it is a low D-string but you can play
this one also with the high D-string

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official OFFSPRING tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
