SYSTEMATIC - "Beginning Of The End" Tablature
Official SYSTEMATIC Tablature & Sheet Music »
Band: Systematic
Album: Somewhere in Between
Song: "Beginning of the End," Track #2.
Alright guys, this song has a peculiar tone or chord shape
or something that just doesn't sound normal to me. I tabbed
it out just using straight power chords and it sounds good,
but if any of you know of another way to play it let me know.
I've got the notes right, I just think that he's using a
bizarre voicing of the same chords. Anyways, drop your guitar
down two whole steps and here it is, just using power chords.

Alright guys, finish up with the chorus a couple times
and that's more or less it. If you feel the need to send any
comments my way, or you just want the lyrics to this song,
email Lamplitr21@aol.com. Later ~Paul
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 SYSTEMATIC 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.
