Drop D tuning
This tab is similar to others I have found on this site with two differences. The first
the chorus, which I believe is more accurate with bends than the slides I've seen. The
is the solo. This solo is not played originally on the guitar, so this is purely an
however I believe it remains faithful to the song (and it's pretty easy to play).

CHORUS 1: On the final power chord in the series (16x18), bend the 18th fret every 5 or
notes. Listen to the song to get the timing down for that part. Play this twice through,
on the 4th power chord (10x12) the second time around.

Lyrics: thanks to http://www.lyriczz.com/lyriczz.php?songid=16424
You're keeping in step
In the line
Got your chin held high and you feel just fine
Because you do
What you're told
But inside your heart it is black and it's hollow and it's cold
Just how deep do you believe?
Will you bite the hand that feeds?
Will you chew until it bleeds?
Can you get up off your knees?
Are you brave enough to see?
Do you want to change it?
What if this whole crusade's
A charade
And behind it all there's a price to be paid
For the blood
On which we dine
Justified in the name of the holy and the divine
Just how deep do you believe?
Will you bite the hand that feeds?
Will you chew until it bleeds?
Can you get up off your knees?
Are you brave enough to see?
Do you want to change it?
So naive
I keep holding on to what I want to believe
I can see
But I keep holding on and on and on and on
Will you bite the hand that feeds you?
Will you stay down on your knees? [8X]
