Look people, im sick of people telling me that system tunes in C,
well NO SH** I know already, I put this on here for people who
dont like to spend to much time tuning to C, I dont like wasting
time at practice so I just drop to D, Yes its like the exact
way to play the song in C, i think it still sounds good in DROP D.
Play this way and it should sound good, my band plays it this way, doesnt sound that bad.

My solo and interlude to solo I have updated, so they are alot better
then they used to be, since everyone seems to be a soad expert, you
have to play everything 2 frets lower on this tab, this tab is how I
play it and it sounds good to me.
Order:
-Intro/Verse (x4)
-Chorus
-Intro/Verse (x3)

-Post Chorus
-Interlude to solo or Bridge
-Solo
-Verse 2 (x2)

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.
