System of a down
Highway Song
Steal this Album
I just corrected The name from here, so atleast i can still stir up some controversy,
corrected some small errors but I did tab this from a bootlegged version of the song 5
ago. . . so this version is NOT THE ALBUM version!! the guitar part is completely
or rather Unherd in this version of the song and it didn't have as many dubbed guitars in it.
C,G,C,F,A,D
Soad Tuning
p.h=Pinch of Harmanics
p.m.=Pum mute
LR=Let it ring
