How to play The Offspring - Why Don't you get a job? Lyrics by YoSabina on guitar

This is a fun, fast beginner tune that feels punchy and upbeat right away. You can lock into the energy quickly, and the steady tempo makes it a good song for building confidence while keeping your rhythm tight.

You will use mostly open shapes here, with Em, G, F, C, and Dm feeling more accessible than the barre shapes Cm, Fm, and A#. The main change to watch is the opening move from F into Cm, since that shift can slow you down if you do not prepare your hand early.

Start by looping Em - G - F - Cm very slowly until the changes feel smooth. Then add the rest of the shapes one at a time, keeping your strums even. Once the switches feel automatic, bring the tempo up little by little until you can stay relaxed at full speed.

Use the play-along above to follow each chord change in time with the music, or learn the shapes first with the chord diagrams below.
