http://nico.g.free.fr/ nico.g@online.fr CROSSROADS by The Offspring. Album: The Offspring (1989) This a nice one and it is not very easy to play. For example the bridge, that is really something! If you cannot play very fast you should try to forget this. Getting the right rhythm might be "interesting". But when you get it, the feeling is marvelous! # intro "solo" # X 2 E----------------------------------------------------------------------------| B------------6-6-6-6------------------------------6-6-6-6--------------------| G---7-7-7-7-----------5------------------7-7-7-7-----------5--------7-7-7-7--| D-----------------------8-8-8--7-7-7-7-----------------------8-8-8-----------| A----------------------------------------------------------------------------| E----------------------------------------------------------------------------| # intro2 # X 2 (mute D-string with your left hands index finger) E--------------------------------------------------------------| B--------------------------------------------------------------| G---7-7/-9-9--10-10-10-10-10-10--9-9-9-9-9-9--6-6-6-6-6-6--7---| D--------------------------------------------------------------| A---5-5/-7-7---8--8--8--8--8--8--7-7-7-7-7-7--4-4-4-4-4-4--5---| E--------------------------------------------------------------| # verse # X 2 * = play the chord several times E------------------------------------------------------------| B------------------------------------------------------------| G---7-10-9-8--7-10-9-7--5--5-5-5-5-5-2--3--3-3-3-3-3-----*---| D---7--8-9-8--7-10-9-7--5--5-5-5-5-5-2--3--3-3-3-3-3-5--7----| A---5--8-7-6--5--8-7-5--3--3-3-3-3-3-0--1--1-1-1-1-1-5--7----| E----------------------------------------------------3--5----| \__mute_/ \_mute__/ # chorus # E----------------------------------------------------------------------------| B----------------------------------------------------------------------------| G--10-10-5-5--7-7-7-7-10-10-5-5--7-7-7-7--3-3-5-5--7-7-7-7-10-10-5-5--7-7-7-7| D--10-10-5-5--7-7-7-7-10-10-5-5--7-7-7-7--3-3-5-5--7-7-7-7-10-10-5-5--7-7-7-7| A---8--8-3-3--5-5-5-5--8--8-3-3--5-5-5-5--1-1-3-3--5-5-5-5--8--8-3-3--5-5-5-5| E----------------------------------------------------------------------------| # solo # (played over the verse chords) \ = slide p = pull-off E-------------------------------------------------------> B---10-10-10--10-11-10-8--------------------------------> G------------------------10-8-----10p8-10p8-10p8-10p8---> D-----------------------------8\------------------------> A-------------------------------------------------------> E-------------------------------------------------------> E---------------------------13p12-13p12-13p12-13p12-13p12-13p12-13p12-13p12--| B---11p10-11p10-11p10-11p10--------------------------------------------------| G----------------------------------------------------------------------------| D----------------------------------------------------------------------------| A----------------------------------------------------------------------------| E----------------------------------------------------------------------------| Play chorus # bridge # X 2 (hard to get the rhythm right) E------------------------------------------------------------------> B------------------------------------------------------------------> G---9-10-9--10-9-7--5--5-5-5-5-5-5-----7---9-10-9--12-11-9-10--5---> D---9-10-9--10-9-7--5--5-5-5-5-5-5-7-7-7---9-10-9--12-11-9-10--5---> A---7--8-7---8-7-5--3--3-3-3-3-3-3-7-7-5---7--8-7--10--9-7--8--3---> E----------------------------------5-5-----------------------------> >>>>>>>>>>>>>> to next page CROSSROADS E-----------------------------------------------------| B----*------------------------*-----------------------| G---7--5-5-5-10-9--5-5-5-7---7--5-5-5-10-9--5-5-5-7---| D---7--5-5-5-10-9--5-5-5-7---7--5-5-5-10-9--5-5-5-7---| A---5--3-3-3--8-7--3-3-3-5---5--3-3-3--8-7--3-3-3-5---| E-----------------------------------------------------| # bridge2 # X 2 E-----------| B-----------| G---5---3---| D---5---3---| A---3---1---| E-----------| Play intro2, verse and chorus and there it is!
