Band: The Offspring
Song: Vultures
Album: Conspiracy of One
Transcribed by: Rhys Jones, rhysj2000@hotmail.com
Two guitars definately needed for solo section.
===================================================================================
STANDARD TUNING HIGH DISTORTION (oh yes)
I've seen some pretty decent attempts here at this song, some very accurate but at
the same time making it hard on yourself. My version is easier to play
(giving you more time & breathing room to add your own personal touch) and I think
sounds the most accurate. So enjoy!

SOLO
=====
Guitar 1 plays the Intro/Verse riff 4 times, and guitar 2 plays this on top.
The speed of the solo is pretty obvious when you split it into 4 parts as the
rhythm piece dictates.

Lyrics
=======
Verse 1
----------
Now I could lie, by your side
All serrated for you
Down below, cancer grows
Weeping waits inside you too
Now all our rage, begs a stage
It's a waste of time though
And you style, seems worthwhile
But this lonely road has turned
Pre-Chorus 1
---------------
And you faded there
They pretend to care
Vultures waiting
If you don't like me
Certify Me
Chorus
---------
Yeah I don't know, yeah
Yeah I won't go, yeah
Yeah save it, I'm okay, okay
Verse 2
----------
And in the sun a loaded gun
Makes for conversation
All the while in denial
It's too late for me to change
Pre-Chorus 2
---------------
And you were unchained
Nothing more had changed
I could fake it
If you still hate me
Confiscate me
Chorus
---------
Yeah I don't know, yeah
Yeah I won't go, yeah
Yeah save it I'm okay, okay
Yeah I won't play, yeah
Yeah Go away, yeah
Yeah save it I'm okay, okay
-------
Solo
-------
Pre-Chorus 3
---------------
And you were unchained
Nothing more had changed
I could fake it
If you still hate me
Confiscate me
Chorus
---------
Yeah I don't know, yeah
Yeah I won't go, yeah
Yeah save it I'm okay, okay
Yeah I won't play, yeah
Yeah Go away, yeah
Yeah save it I'm okay
========
Enjoy :)
