System Of A Down - Mushroom Cult Chords & Tabs

     ____________________________
    / Dog Fashion Disco         /  I think this song is about drugs. They use
   / (feat. Serj Tankian)      /  the religious cult this as a metaphor for the
  / Mushroom Cult             /  power of the drugs and how strongly it controls
 / Anarchists of Good Taste  /  your way of thoughts as religion does.
/___________________________/  I love this song for the all 11 insane riffs ;)

 Guitar: (D A D G B E - Drop D tuning)
Switch distortion on/off with a very evil distortion pedal!
