Tabbed by Keri Klick 12.7.04
Drop D Tuning.  SYSTEM OF A DOWN - CHIC N STU

p.m. = palm mute.  [Used in pre-chorus.]
h = hammer on

I know this song is NOT played in drop D tuning, but I wanted to make
a tab that is easy to play since many people asked me to tab this in 
standard.  For this adaptation, keep your guitar in standard tuning but
make the low E string one step lower [a D, match it with the fourth string.]

This song is really easy to play, like the rest of SOAD's songs.  Like all others,
it requires patience and speed skills.  If you can't play it up to tempo, practice
at half speed and then gradually increase until you have it down.  Most of this is
using 1st, 3rd, and 4th fingers.  Don't make the mistake of shifting incorrectly.
E-mail me with any suggestions or corrections.  I tabbed this from memory so if there
are any mistakes, please submit corrections!  Don't say in your corrections that it's
in the wrong tuning, because again, that was on purpose.  If you have a floating bridge
it's hard to tune to drop C, so I tried to make it easier.  If you submit corrections,
make sure they correspond with drop D and not drop C.
