The first time this is played mutes, but on the second time,
	play the last set of powerchords unmuted with the A 
	and D strings open.

This riff is also played muted sometimes, so just listen to the
	song and I'm pretty sure you can figure it out :-).

After the Hardcore Riff is played alot, play this right when
	Serj starts to sing, it's all palm muted.

"Walk with me, my little child..."

Then play the Hardcore Riff again...fun :-).

"To the forest of denial..."

F|--8-------------888--9-------------999--|
C|--8---------888------9---------999------|

C|----------------------------------------|

The rest of the verses is just a repeat of this formation, while
	going up the frets with the same powerchord fingering and
	picking.

Now comes the chorus.  It gets repeated a few times.

"Why can't you see that you are..."

	Here we go :-).  After each section, play the Hardcore Riff muted.

This song is played with no effects, and no clean parts :-).  Just
	that distortion sound that we all love!
