Americana Lyrics

The Offspring - "Americana"
Track 12 on the album "Americana"
Well, this is the first Offspring song I've ever played
without standard tuning. In order to play this, you have
to tune to "Drop D" tuning (DADGBE). Besides that, it's
nothing unusual, a normal Offspring song...enjoy!
Chords:
INTRO: (starts at 0:13 into the song)
(low D string)---5---7---5-2----0--2--2-----| (x8)
VERSE 1:
(No chord)
Well I'd Like to tell you all about
My dream, it's a place
E (palm-muted)
Where strip malls about and diversion's mere
Moment's away
Where culture's defined by the
One least refined
And you'll be left behind
If you don't fit in
It's all distorted
In Americana my way
(No Chord)
Well F*** You!
CHORUS 1:
Whoooooaaaa, Whaaaaaooooo, Whooooooaaaaa
Well my dream has come true
Whoooooaaaa, Whaaaaaooooo, Whooooooaaaaa
My vision has come true
VERSE 2:
(No chord)
Now give me my cable, fast food, four-bys
Tat's right away
E (palm-muted)
I want it right now cause my generation
Don't like to wait
My future's determined
By thieves, thugs, and vermin
It's quite an excursion
But it's OK
Everything's backwards
In Americana my way
(No Chord)
Well F*** You!
BREAK:
Yeah it's all coming true
I'm a product
Of my environment
Don't blame me, I just work here,
(No chord)
But I wanna F*** YOU!
My rights are denied by
Those least qualified
Trading profit for pride
But it's OK
Everything's backwards
In Americana my way
(No Chord)
Well F*** You!
ENDING:
Whoooooaaaa, Whaaaaaooooo, Whooooooaaaaa
My nightmare has come true
Whoooooaaaa, Whaaaaaooooo, Whooooooaaaaa
My nightmare has come true
Yeah, it's all coming true
Yeah, it's all coming true!
Well, that's it! During the intro, the "7" on the
low D string might have a small bend, but i'm not sure
Oh well, it doesn't really matter. The song's not
hard. Have fun with it!
