AMERICANA by THE OFFSPRING from AMERICANA (1998) This is the title song of the 5th Offspring-album. Itґs a little bit hard to play because you must move your left hand quickly. The lyricsґs are also fucking great - theyґre 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 =Intro= X8 E-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| B-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| G-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| D-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| A-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| D--5--7/8----0-2-2---------------------------------------------------------------|
