Great song from their new CD "Toxicity".  This is my first SOAD tab,
but it sounds pretty accurate to me.

Key:
P.M. - Palm Mute
p - Pull off
h - Hammer on
 - Slide down

Intro: Gradually release the palm mute throughout the riff and use pinch harmonics 
       the last few times you repeat the riff
D--4p3----4p3----4p3----4p3---------
A------3------3------3------3-------

C-----------------------------------

Main Riff: Not too sure on this first part, sounds pretty good though
