Ok... this is my first time tabbing but this should be easy since i got these
tabs from Daron himself - no joke. I know that there are a lot of different 
versions of this song out there, pick whichever you think sounds the best.
And yes, this is pain stakingly(sp?) long

Thanks to: Daron Malakian and Serj Tankian for lyrics and tabs

till sound dies.

Thre it is. The entire song, in order. Cresendo's and decresendo's... ect...
Basically all I recommend to use for playing this is a chorus pedal or amp
effect, a disortion pedal, and an acoustic effect pedal (or an effects pedal
with all of them in it). Have fun, I also have the bass tabs, if anyone wants
me to add them, e-mail me. Kaervekii@aol.com
