Band: System Of A Down Album: Toxicity Track # 8 Song: Forest Bassist: Shavo Odajian Tabbed by: punkbasser15 Key: ‘/’ = slide up neck ‘>’= play fret 8 times ‘~’ = let note ring This song can be played with a pick like Shavo, but I recommend fingers for this one because you have to silence certain strings after playing them and it’s really difficult w/ a pick. This song is horror to memorize but other than that this track is great! I truly believe that this is the one correct tab here. And unlike everyone else, I didn’t do this in riffs (that’s so annoying). So have fun with this one, kiddies, and rock out! -------------------Forest----------------- (this song is in, low to high, CGCF tuning) Intro part I (0:00) |----------------------------------------------------------------- |----------------------------------------------------------------- |---5-55-55-5-5-5---6-66-66-6-6-6---7-77-77-7-7-7---8-88-88-8-8-8- |----------------------------------------------------------------- |------------------------------------------------------------ |------------------------------------------------------------ |---5-55-55-5-5-5---6-66-66-6-6-6---7-77-77-7-7-7---8-88-88/- |------------------------------------------------------------ Pre-verse (0:12) |-------X4-|-------X4-|--------------| |----------|----------|----REPEAT----| |----------|----------|--------------| |---0-450--|---0-445--|--------------| Verse (0:26) “Walk with me my little child!!!...” |----------|------X4--|------------|-------X4-|-------------| |----------|----------|------------|----------|-------------| |---5>-6>--|----------|---7>-8>----|----------|---5>-6>-----| |----------|---0-450--|------------|---0-445--|-------------| |-------X4---|----PRECHORUS------------ |------------|------------------------- |------------|---5>-6>-7>-8>--5>-6>-7>- |---0-450----|------------------------- Chorus (0:56) “Why can’t you see that you are...MY...CHILD?!...” |---------------------X4--|-------------| |-------------------------|-------------| |-------------------------|-------------| |---8-9-8-7-5-4-0~-4~-5~--|-8-9-8-7-5-4-| Pre-verse (1:23) Verse 2 (1:29) “Walk with me my little FRIEND!!!..” |--------------------- |---SAME AS VERSE 1--- |--------------------- |--------------------- Chorus 2 (1:59) “Why can’t you see that you are....my...child?...” Bridge (2:24) (no words) |---------X3-|------X4--|------X4--|----------------------------- |------------|----------|----------|----------------------------- |------------|----------|----------|----------------------------- |---8888-75--|--00-450--|--00-445--|---8888-75--12-12-12-12-11-9- |--------X4--|--------------------------------------|--------X4--| |------------|--------------------------------------|------------| |------------|------------------------------8888-75-|------------| |---00-450---|---8888-75--12-12-12-12-11-9----------|----00-450--| |------------------------------------------------------------------- |------------------------------------------------------------------- |---8888-75---10-10-10-10-87---11-11-11-11-10-8---13-13-13-13-11-10- |------------------------------------------------------------------- “Take this promise for a ride, You saw the forest, Now come inside...” |------------X4--|----------------------------------X2----| |----------------|----------------------------------------| |----------------|-50505050-60606060-70707070-80808080----| |---00-450--0004-|----------------------------------------| Pre-chorus (3:14) “No televisions in the air...” Final Chorus (3:25) “Why can you see that you are...my...child?!” |----------------X2-|-------X2-|-------X2-|------X2-| |-------------------|----------|----------|---------| |-------------------|----------|----------|---------| |-898754-0~-4~-5~---|--00-440--|--00-550--|--00-660-| |--------|------X2-|------X2-|------X2-|-------------- |--------|---------|---------|---------|-------------- |--------|---------|---------|---------|-------------- |-898754-|--00-440-|-00-550--|-00-660--|-898754-0~-
