Artist; System Of A Down

Okay this is my first attempt at a tab and been playing for a few months (i'm only 17 so don't hurt me!), but i'm pretty sure this is 100% accurate.
enjoy....
(ps listen to the song first, especially if you have a live recording for the timings)
 (pps A few things first;   / = slide up string
		            \\ = slide down string
		            ~ = tremolo pick)
Drop D-Tuning down one whole step (low to high; C G C F A D)
