Artist: System of a down
Song: Temper
Bassist: Shavo Odadjian
Guitarist: Daron malakian
Tabbed (put together) by: Mr_Sade (test_tube_fish@hotmail.com)
all the symbols needed to understand this tab:
/ = slide eg. 10/3
p = pull off eg. 3p2
h = hammer on eg. 2h3
most of this tab has been started off from other peoples tabs. i've just
extended or changed it abit. the timing is quite simple in the intro and
verse as its very clear in the song.
this tab has been made to be played by your self not with a band, well
you could play it in a band but it would be a bit messed up i guess.

or
Solo (guitar)
this is taken from the guitar tab, it sounds good on bass and i couldnt be
arsed to listen for the rest of the bass. if you play this its fun by your
self but if you want to play it in your band you'll have to get tabbing ;)

-------------------------------------------------------------
Now we want peace without patriot missiles
Blown to bits are civilian targets
Parade! Laugh! Rejoice! Sing!
We are the victors of...nothing
Spend more money on a war
Your people starving, turned to whores
Slaves of the chosen one paying millions for each bomb

Freedom cried the marching man
Flags ripped out of their black hands
Beaten! Slain! Tortured! Killed!
Their only mistake was being born here
Invade countries just for oil
Send your troops all down to boil
Iraq! Grenada! Nam and Chile!
Truman doctrine our own way

Policing the world in overalls

Disrespected race, colored mind
Crazed loonies all walk the streets
Missing children on milk cartons
Mother selling child for crack
Mr. President check you back
