Next to You - The Offspring
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Rankles
Tuning: Standard
This is the hidden track from the greatest hits album, and is a cover of a song by the Police.
It is pretty simple to play, although the solo can be tricky to make sound good.

Play verse 4 times this time, then back into the chorus, only this time at the end,
after he's stopped saying 'what can I do' and begins repeating 'all i want is to be next
to you', play this 2 and a half times.

I could not find time to complete the solo yet. I hate to submit unfinished work,
but I figure this will be useful until I update it, which should be in a couple of weeks.
The rest of the song is a repeat of what is printed.
