*Important!* This is my own interpretation 
of the song, and is not ripped off from a  
music book etc. 
 
What a mad song! It just had to be tabbed, and is pretty 
easy, but it pretty fast. Conspiracy Of One? Haven't a  
clue what it's about, but it rocks. Check out the pictures 
on the album cover - wierd. Anyway enjoy.

    {Notice this part is the same as the intro} 
 
*********************Play Verse********************** 
 
This time the verse is the same, but the two sets of 
lyrics are swapped round in a fiendish ploy to make 
it sound like there's more words. But there's not. 
The guitar part is exactly the same, except there's 
no pick slide into the chorus. 
 
*********************Play Chorus********************** 
 
Now this is different. Play it normally until Dexter 
sings 'Conspiracy of One', then repeat the chorus again, 
skipping the bit that is the same as the intro. 
Second time through when you get to 'Conspiracy of one, 
again skip the bit that's the same as the intro, and go 
to the middle 8. (You'll know what mean when you listen 
to the track) 
 
*********************Middle 8************************* 
 
Guess what? - Distorted Guitar!

*********************Play Chorus********************** 
 
Play the chorus like you did the second time, but instead 
of cutting to the middle 8, cut to the outro.

And there you have it! All comments, etc to my address at the top. 
 
What a cool song! I'm going to see The Offspring @ London Arena, 21st  
January 2001. It's gonna rock! 
 
If you've read any of my previous tabs you'll know that I despise poor  
tabs. Why make a tab without words, chord names? Why make a tab that's  
wrong? It doesn't help anybody! Also tabs with this in piss me off as  
well :-'I couldn't figure the intro or verse. But here's half the  
chorus.'AHHHHHHHHH! What could be more annoying? So PLEASE think about doing  
a tab if you know it's gonna be poor. 
 
Also e-mail me about anything! I don't want to be just another tab guy  
who everyone ignores. Like the tab? Did a gig with it? Got problems?  
Mail me! 
 
Ps :- Happy New Year to all Guitar Players. (Bad or Good)
