Hourly updated guitar tabs archive



Here is System's new single "Chop Suey". I have no recording so this is all from memory and i dont know if all the parts are right but they should be close.

Standard Tuning(ithink)
e,a,d,g,b,e



Intro
E----------------------------------------------------------------
B----------------------------------------------------------------
G----------------------------------------------------------------
D---8--8--8--10-10-10--7-7-7--5-5-5------------------------------
A--10-10-10--12-12-12--8-8-8--6-6-6------Not Exact number of strums but listen to the song to get the rhythm right
E----------------------------------------------------------------

Then a palm muted/distorted guitar comes in going...
E-----------------------------------
B-----------------------------------
G-----------------------------------
D-8--8--8---10-10-10--7-7-7--5-5-5--
A--10-10-10--12-12-12--8-8-8--6-6-6-
E-----------------------------------

Then the drums and bass.....then the heavy part goes
E----------------------------------
B----------------------------------
G-------------------------5-5-5-5--
D-5-5-5-5-4-4-4-4-7-7-7-7-5-5-5-5--

E-3-3-3-3-2-2-2-2-5-5-5-5----------
Really fast picking listen to song for rhythm and number of strums

D|---656565-54545--8787--12111211---------|
A|---656565-54545--8787--12111211---------|
D|---656565-54545--8787--12111211---------|

You get the general idea...

Mr.System of a down!!! December 26, 2002, 18:27 

Man,this tab is less than nothing!

They have the right tabs for chop suey!!!!!!


Dex December 28, 2002, 16:49 

Fuck the fucking system, open your eyes, open your mouths, close your hands and make a fist.


qwertyuiop January 15, 2003, 21:58 

i agree with vilesy. taborama.com's tab is a little closer but not exact


Seth March 4, 2003, 5:55 

This is awesome, if somebody knows the piano part, e-mail me.NOW


billypoole1969@comcast.net March 5, 2003, 11:52 

I think this is a great web site, I've been playing the guitar for many years now and you'll never find any company that promotes tab books or web sites that give away tabs that is to the pin point. There's alway flaws, in any book or web site. e-tabs is alright with me. I play speed metal in New Hampshire, interested in jioning a band, contact me at my web address.


brent March 19, 2003, 3:27 

yeah, vilesy is right.


tommy May 10, 2003, 7:22 

hey man dis tab kix ass man all ur corrections r freakin wrong


helios571 June 21, 2003, 9:35 

FIRST THIS IS IN DROP C, SECOND IT SOUNDS BETTER IN THE INTRO LIKE THIS-->

D---5--5--5--7--7--7
A--7--7--7--10-10-10
MUCH SMOTHER AND BETTER SOUNDING THAT WAY.


happyhannah June 28, 2003, 15:37 

system always play in drop c -
actually theres two guitars for the first bit: one comes in tremolo style btw if anyone know the piano bit TELL ME!


ADDisForMe1882 July 12, 2003, 9:01 

its played in drop-D but after the pre-verse the part that goes
D-6565-5454-8787-11101110
A-6565-5454-8787-11101110
D-6565-5454-8787-11101110
there is a fat picking part that goes
D-5-5-5-5-4-4-4-8-8-8-11-11-11
I BELIVE THATS RIGHT..ENJOY!

lam September 30, 2003, 14:33 

oh god am daron from system of a down its all bullshit tabs u dont n never gonna know how i play it, mo fos


Stringer Dax November 16, 2003, 3:08 

Look, once and for all, this song is in drop C, I don't give a shit for all you arses that only play in drop D, if you want all the right notes and you want it to sound right, fuckin' de-tune your guitar to C. The 7th version of this tab, on E-Tabs is much better anyway.


agpp3 December 6, 2004, 4:11 

every fucking SOAD song is drop C
not D so ppl need to not be dumb


Eric March 4, 2005, 2:01
