WWW.AZCHORDS.COM | System Of A Down - Science Tabs | Ver. 1
PROPS GO TO: Logan Nalbone
The other tab for this song, the guy did totally wrong. I made a few corrections and hope this will clear up any confusion.
Drop C tuning (CGCFAD)(the other guy said it was double drop c which ins't right. Daron Malakyian uses drop c tuning on both system albums on all the songs. if u watch him live he only uses one guitar for the whole set.)

Kill the distortion and try and let the entire notes ring as long as possible.

(please note that this may actually be a sitar and guitar played together and the notes may not sound right at first, but once u get it under your fingers it will get clear)

Repeat twice then play bridge riff then end one open C5 chord. The arrangement of the riffs shouldn’t be that hard to figure out. Just listen to the song and have fun.
