Hey, here it goes:
Of course, this song as every song by Offspring, has two guitars.
I'll tab both, though it's mainly mute picking on one and
strumming on the other.
Above each riff you can see which guitar plays that riff.

Now the order:

Play this part above twice.
Then, Guitar 1 keeps playing the same thing,
but Guitar 2 plays this:

G----------------------4/7-7---7/9-9---9/11-11---
D--4---4/7-7---7/9-9---4/7-7---7/9-9---9/11-11---
A--4---4/7-7---7/9-9---2/5-5---5/7-7---7/-9--9---
E--2---2/5-5---5/7-7-----------------------------
 
 
-RIFF 2 (With Guitar 1 playing *RIFF 1* over it)
 
-RIFF 3 (Over verse)
 This riff is played like this: palm mute all chords and only
 let them sound openly when you change chords. This is in most
 Offspring songs, so it's easy to figure out.
 The 'm' says when to mute anyway.
 
-RIFF 4 (2x)
 
-RIFF 5
 Keep chord palm muted and lift your hand progressively.
 
-RIFF 6 (Over chorus)
 First part is two guitars doing the same.
 Second part, Guitar 2 play as Riff 3, mute chords with the 'm' but let it sound
 when you change chords.
 Over Guitar 2 palm muted, Guitar 1 plays *RIFF 1*
 
 
 
-RIFF 2
 
-RIFF 3 (Onto second verse)
 
-RIFF 4 (2x)
 
-RIFF 5
 
-RIFF 6 (Over chorus)
 
-SOLO
