Chords

____________________ / System of a Down / I think this song is about a deeply drug-addicted person, / Streamline / who has lost his love as he let it down. The drugs made him / Steal This Album! / blind ('snow'-blind) and he couldn't pull himself out of the /___________________/ addiction, which eventually left him alone. I've added a few finger indications (which finger to use) below the tab charts to help newcomers (the few newcomers who can cut through the clutter, of course): 1 = Index finger 2 = Middle finger 3 = Ring finger 4 = Pinky finger T = Thumb (not used in this song, anyways) Note that the finger indications (as well as the chords) are only displayed the first time the particular riff is displayed. Tunings: C G C F A D Gtr I - Distorted Electric, (lead) Gtr II - Clean Electric, (back-up) Gtr III - Clean Acoustic, (verses) Gtr IV - Distorted Electric, (solo) Intro: Q=152 bpm 5/8 6/8 Gtr II Gtr I G#5 G5 F5 PM------------------|

I wasn't there for you I wasn't there for you I know weather's gonna be fine But I can't see you cross the streamline My love waits for me in daytime But I can't see you through the snowblind You are gone I wasn't there for you Goodbyes are long I wasn't there for you Goodbye I know time reveals in hindsight I can wrestle with the stormy night Because your love lasts a lifetime But I can't see you through the snowblind I wasn't there for you, I wasn't there I wasn't there for you I wasn't there for you You are gone I wasn't there for you Goodbyes are long I wasn't there for you Goodbye Goodbye ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 12th /November /05 Just mail me at [email protected] with questions, comments and corrections! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ " Maitinin writing here - the author of this tab.
