   / System of a Down  /  I think that this song is about the American people neglecting
  / Hypnotize         /  to stand up against the American government, ruling the country
 / Hypnotize         /  by blinding and brainwashing its population with ‘propaganda’ to
/___________________/  cover all of its fraud. ‘The kids at Tiananmen Square’ was the
                      Chinese student’s demonstration in 1989, which ended up as being a
massacre. It was against the Chinese Government’s violent treatment of its population and
the censored freedom of speech, which SOAD sadly admits is conspicuously maintained in
America this day as well. ... Regretfully the Americans are just innocently ‘sitting in
their cars and waiting for their girls’ ...

Why don’t you ask the kids at Tiananmen Square?
Was fashion the reason why they were there?
They disguise it, hypnotize it
Television made you buy it

I\\'m just sitting in my car and waiting for my girl

She’s scared that I will take her away from there
Dreams that her country left with no one there
Mesmerize the simple minded
Propaganda leaves us blinded

I\\'m just sitting in my car and waiting for my girl

I\\'m just sitting in my car and waiting for my girl

Good tab, but one thing i see is incorrect.





The verse sounds better played like this:





||----------------------------------|


||----------------------------------|


||--------------------------7/8-8---|


||--5-------5-----5-5---5---7/8-8---|


||--5-------5-----5-5---5---5/6-6---|


||--5-------5-----5-5---5-----------|





Other then that, nice tabbing :D

Alright, just bought the CD and theres a slight difference...during the bridge and other parts of the song where you tabbed...





D-------------------:

C-------------------:


G-5-----0-0---3---5-:


C-5-----0-0---3---5-:





It sounds more like this on the CD...

On the CD it sounds a bit deeper so I'm pretty sure this would be closer. Other than that, amazingly good tab!!!

Your tab is awesome, but I noticed you said that there were four different guitars...? Here's my theory, gtr 1 is the actual lead guitar and is the same as gtr 4, gtr 2 is also gtr 1 except at parts where you tabbed 5--0-0-3-5 thats the bass with distortion, and gtr 3 is more than likely Serj on the keyboard. There is only one part on the song where three of these overlap. If you're wondering how gtr1 and 2 can be the same its called a foot pedal and is used to quickly change presets such as clean to other presets such as distorted, with the tap of a switch with your foot.
