Title: Sad Statue
Artist: System of a Down
Album: Mezmerize
Tuning: Drop D, down a half step (Db Ab Db Gb Bb Eb)

Tabbed by: Seen K. Leeds (posted on 5/05/05)

Instead of stealing my work to make a \"100% correct\" Sad Statue tab, contact me with any 
corrections. I will implement them immediately, and you will receive the appropriate credit. 
MX does not need a bunch of redundant tabs clogging the database (plus, I really hate thieves). 

(NOTE - 6/28/05 - A rodent named \"Vezy\" stole the tab below -- and my \"Cocaine\" tab -- and had 
 the gall to post it on MX over a month after I published it. He\'s a vile tab pirate -- throw 
 things at him if you see him on the street.)

Now, enjoy.

KEY:
p    = pull-off
h    = hammer-on
pm/. = palm mute
s    = slide
~    = sustain 
ttt  = tremolo/fast picking

I'm pretty sure SOAD only does Drop D down a half step on the new album.

to Deuxmasterguitarist.....all i have to say to you about you putting this "correction" in about this song is....be nice....he did an awesome job on this song so dont be mean to this pimp...and about the part between 2:14-2:25 i think that they used 2 guitars there - one was playing that solo thing and one was just tremelo picking 6-Ab, 5-Db, 0-Db, then 6-Ab in time with the song...good luck with other corrections...awesome tab

wutask8rwutask8rUnknown Date
To all you guys arguing about the tuning of this song... I read in an article in a mag that all the songs off the new album are all in drop c. Besides for a totally correct version then you should email the tabber of this tab like he noted at the top.

Your tab looks great i especialy like the big words u used nice touch
joe856joe856Unknown Date
dumb ass it drop C not D they only do drop d in like 2 sonds and this is not one of them
aerotour13aerotour13Unknown Date
Hey. Yeah In INtro Part I, in the part where you palm mute and tremolo fret 5 on string 5 (Ab), I think that it should be open on string 6 (low Db). I could be wrong but that is how it sounds to me. Great tab otherwise.
