This is an excellent song. I have fixed the tab to 100% accuracy because I get my tabs from a very reliable source, and I know for a fact it is absolutely correct. There are actually 2 guitar parts in this song, the second, however sounds like a cello, but it is possible to get that effect from a good multi effects processor.If you have a zoom effects processor try using violin effect. tuning: C G C G B E Time: 4/4 Intro(cello sounding part) -------|------|-----|------| -------|------|-----|------| --7----|------|--5--|------| -------|--8---|-----|--7---| --5----|------|--3--|------| -------|--8---|-----|--7---| Guitar 1 Intro(In 8th notes clean) |---------------|----------------|---------------|------------------| |---------------|----------------|---------------|------------------| |---------------|----------------|---------------|------------------| |----0-----0----|-0-----0-----0--|-----0-----0---|-0-----0------0---| |--0-----0-----0|-----0-----0----|---0-----0----0|-----0-----0------| |3-----2-----0--|---0-----0-----0|-5-----3----2--|---2-----2------2-| |--------------|-----------------|----------------|----------------| |--------------|-----------------|----------------|----------------| |--------------|-----------------|----------------|----------------| |----0----0----|-0-----0----0----|-----0-----0----|-0-----0-----0--| |--0----0-----0|-----0----------0|---0-----0-----0|-----0-----0----| |3----5-----7--|---8-----7----5--|-3-----2-----0--|---0-----0-----0| /\ Guitar 2 comes in here Guitar 2(cello sound again)This riff is played while guitar 1 intro is played.

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP, representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are "hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the official SYSTEM OF A DOWN tablature which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route. These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the NY Times Article. We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
