THE OFFSPRING- STARING AT THE SUN ALBUM: AMERICANA (1998)TRACK NO. 3 STANDARD TUNING
Have a bit of distortion for this song, and play all the chords as either powerchords or barre chords to give it that punk-rock sound.
Intro- D (Palm muted)
CAG Maybe life is like a ride on a freeway,
CAG dodge the bullets while you're trying to find your way,
CAG everyone's around but no-one does a damn thing,
AD it brings me down, but I won't let them.
If I seem bleak, well you'd be correct, and if I don't speak, it's 'cos I can't disconnect, but I won't be, burned by the reflection, of the fire in your eyes,
DGA as your'e staring at the sun, woah,
DGA as your'e staring at the sun, woah,
DGA as your'e staring at the sun, woah,
DGA as your'e staring at the sun
GDA as your'e staring at the sun.
Right well that's it, have fun with this great but easy song. Any questions/comments email to [email protected]
