"The Kids Aren't Alright" by the offspring
The intro chords are just:
Bbm F# C# G#m
Theres a little riff that goes along with that:
e-------------------------------------------------------|
b-------------------------------------------------------|
g-------------------------------------------------------|
d-------------------------------------------------------|
a--1----1--3--4-----------3--4-----1--3--4--6--4--3--4--|
E-----------------2----2--------4-----------------------|
The intro stuff that you really hear is played by the
same guitar as above (Noodles):
He just plays around with the 4 top strings of the Bbm and the C#
Then during the verse Dexter and Noodles both play the chords with a palm mute:
Bbm5 F#5
When we were young the future was so bright
The old neighborhood was so alive
C#5 G#5
And every kid on the whole street
Was gonna make it big and not be beat
Continues for the next verse
It changes a little for the chorus (slower strum pattern):
Bbm(5) F#(5)
Chances Thrown, Nothing's Free
C#(5) G#(5)
Longing For What used to be
Bbm(5) F#(5)
Still it's hard, hard to see
C#(5) G#(5)
Fragile Lives, Shattered Dreams
Then the riff starts up again.
It contiues until the solo. Stay posted.
