			     The Kids Aren't Alright - Offspring
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: You can play the intro through the entire song if you want to. 
      Strum the intro with a lot of mutes, almost like your playing a ukulele.      

Chord Diagrams are at the bottom!! 

Also: If played in Half Step Down, all the annoying sharps are gone.
