MOTA by The Offspring. Album: Ixnay on the Hombre (1997) One of the fastest and best Offspring songs. Not very easy to play cause you have to move your left hand veeeeery quickly. Rhythm: notes followed by a "-" are whole notes. If there's no space after a note, then it' a half. Play order: intro1, intro2, mota riff x2, verse x2, mota riff x2, chorus x3, fill, intro2, mota riff x2, verse x2, mota riff x2, verse x2, chorus x3, end-chorus, intro2, mota riff x2, chorus x5(third time with palm-muting), intro2. # intro1 # # intro2 # |------------------------| |-----------------------------------------| |------------------------| |-----------------------------------------| |------------------------| |-----------------------------------------| |55-555-5-5-5555-5-5-5555| |1212-121212-12-12-12121212-12-12-12121212| |55-555-5-5-5555-5-5-5555| |1212-121212-12-12-12121212-12-12-12121212| |33-333-3-3-3333-3-3-3333| |1010-101010-10-10-10101010-10-10-10101010| PM----------------------| # mota riff # |----------------------------------------------------| |----------------------------------------------------| |----------------------------------------------------| |1212-121212-1212-14141514121088-888-810-141415141210| |1212-121212-1212-14141514121088-888-810-141415141210| |1010-101010-1010-1212131210-866-666-6-8-1212131210-8| # verse # |-----------------------------------------------------------| |-----------------------------------------------------------| |-----------------------------------------------------------| |1212-121212-1212-121212-12\8-88-888-8/10-1010-101010-10/12-| |1212-121212-1212-121212-12\8-88-888-8/10-1010-101010-10/12-| |1010-101010-1010-101010-10\6-66-666-6/-8--8-8--8-8-8--8/10-| PM---------------------| PM----| PM---------| # chorus # # fill # |--------------------------------| |----------------| |--------------------------------| |----------------| |--------5-55-555----------------| |--------5-55-555| |3-33-3335-55-5555-55-5555-55-555| |3-33-3335-55-555| |3-33-3335-33-3335-55-5555-55-555| |3-33-3333-33-333| |1-11-111--------3-33-3333-33-333| |1-11-111--------| # end-chorus # |--------------------------------------| |--------------------------------------| |--------5-55-555--------10-1010-101010| |3-33-3335-55-5558-88-88810-1010-101010| |3-33-3333-33-3338-88-888-8--8-8--8-8-8| |1-11-111--------6-66-666--------------| Tabbed by Roman Kugge (11 july 1999).
