 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

 	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

 figure it out and e-mail your result to me.
