Song: TOXICITY
Artist: SYSTEM OF A DOWN
Album: Toxicity
Track No: 12
Label: American
Tabbed by: Edd Dawson (All my own work).
This was such a cool song I had to tab it. It's all pretty simple
really, although it's a bit tricky sometimes to get those fast chord
changes in the chorus sounding distinct, especially with a guitar
tuned as low as you need for this song. Enjoy :)
Any comments/corrections to: ma0etd@bath.ac.uk
My notation:
^ means bend.
[PALM MUTED... ...] means palm-mute the notes.
[MUTED] also means palm-mute the notes.
Only reason I used two different symbols for muting is that it looks
neater in some places.
Ok here's the structure:

This is in Drop D tuning right? Maybe you should add that. Thanks. Lata.
I'm sorry but this blows
Rich, Yes it is in Drop D tuning.. Kurtis, dont give him a hard time because at least he had the BALLS to atleast try to do it. I dont see yours up there. thanks
peace out.
I'm sorry but all songs , at least 80%, of system are in C guys
try to do it in this tune!!
Dude you have the tuning anywhere, but thats ok because any dumbass will know most s.o.d songs are in drop-d anyway.
all of you have the wrong tuning for system of a down...the tuning is as follows from high to low...d,a,e,c,b,c
kurtis sucks, its pretty good put in tuning though. oh and uh Josh its s.o.A.d. buddy any dumbass would know that
Yo kurtis i agree with u... WTF IS THIS SHIT MAN!! THE ORDER IS ALL WRONG AND THE FUKEN TUNING IS DROP D HALF STEP AKA DROP C!!! U IDIOTS!!! RICH U FUKEN NEWB!! THIS IS GARBAGE!!!!
Treke-Treke
Waaaaaaaaa!
you guys suck the crap out of me
i hate "me" the first toxicity is a song i hate but i am really good and i like it because it is easy.
Great tab dude. William is right though, the order is wrong. But good job. I'm a newbie at guitar so I'm not very picky. But I learned how to play this song from this tab fine. THANKS. Don't mind the Fagget that calls himself william. He a fuckin jackass
...nothin more xcept that all of the SOAD tunes are in drop C tune...salut from croatia!
u people seem mean.....the tabs r ok and if u dont like them way come 2 the website and complain
|-------22222222222222-----------|
I'm laughing at the stupidity of some peeps here, and not the tab writer, hes man enough to give it a shot. Im laughin at all you people who are slaggin him off, "oooh no it sucks, all i ever do with my life is cuss others down over the internet cos i cant do it in real life cos i so damn lonely!!"
Grow up people!
Nice Tab there kid
If you're a "newbie" to guitar, why the hell would you try and criticize someone's work? I've been playing for years, and I know S.O.A.D. is always in drop-C tuning (drop-D tuned down a step). Daron has an Ibanez Iceman baritone guitar, which comes in standard drop-C tuning. So quit fighting and shut up-This tab is pretty accurate.
If you can't say anything nice and you are not tabbing your version then shut your stupid mouth!
people please stop complaining, start playing it like this! After playing it a couple of times you'll hear a few small mistakes, but the nice thing of playing guitar is that you can improvise....wright?!
right
.......life through the eyes of a tire hub, Eating seeds as a past time activity, The toxicity of our city, of our city
NEW, WHAT DO YOU OWN THE WORLD?.....
hey dude it is awsome, and dont listen to those jerks listen to your guitar and go with the flow. take care EDD.
it is drop c fools lol and for all you that agreed that all soad songs were in drop d...im sorry u have to go thru life with hearing disabilities
the correct tuning for all of s.o.a.d.'s song's is from low to high C,G,C,F,A,D. except for 2 or 3 of their songs. trust me i should know i have played for TEN years now.
is there any body out there can sing like serj from s.o.a.d
Yeah I think it is drop C but it sounds good though.
dude its a good tab and a great song. If yall wanna sit there and complain make ur own tabs and put them up to see ur own suck ass comments
Sk8rGuitarPlyr420 is right. Lets see you do your own tab JACKASSES!!!
Dude he is playing it wrong its a couple frets higher.Then the other part is on 3&2&0 then 8 and 7.Listen to the song Dumbasses but,it is a good tab.No reason to say it sucks.Thats just stupid.
Sweet jesus. Have you people no sense of respect or common courtesy? You come on to this site to use tabs that other people have spent good time on, and then you proceed to abuse them because of poor quality. If its in the wrong order, shuffle it around. If its just pain old wrong, then bloody well go somewhere else to get it. Your abuse of other peoples time and effort is childish and should not be expected from fellow musicians
