Smash Album tab by The Offspring
Guitar Tab
This is the entire Offspring album SMASH transcribed by Jamie and David Worsley and their good friend Alex Wood. We've posted chords and rhythm as well as we can, but in some cases you might have to work out how many times a chord is strummed.(A * by a chord means strum it more than once, usually 4 times). Incidentally, some of this was "borrowed" from other peoples tab work, but a lot of it was horrendously messy and craply done previously. _____________________________________________________________________ Ah, it's time to relax, and you know what that means, a glass of wine, your favourite easy chair, and of course this compact disc playing on your home stereo. So go on indulge yourself, that's right, kick off your shoes, put your feet up, lean back and and just enjoy the melodies. After all, music soothes even the savage beast....
