Attack Tab by System Of A Down ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ATTACK - System of a Down ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by:nirvana4lf Email:nirvana4lf@gmail.com This is off of the new SoaD album, Hypnotize. I got it leaked so i have it tabbed before cd's release (Nov. 22nd). I did this all by ear so im sorry if there is something that isnt 100% perfect, but this is pretty good. Enjoy!
