Hey there, fellow bass players! I am

submitting this because there is not really that much

System of a Down tab in the archive, and because my

band (Bottom Shelf) covered this song and I wanted

other bands to be able to cover this song too. This

tab was tabbed late one night when I had nothing else

to do. If you are doing this with a guitar, leave a

small rest in between the groups of two for the guitar

to play. That^?s about it so here is the tab.

Song: ATWA

Band: System of a Down

VERSE:

G:--------------------1--1-3--3-1--1-------------------

D:-3----3-1---1-5--5-------------------5--5-3--3-3--3-1

A:-----------------------------------------------------

E:-----------------------------------------------------

That repeats until the chorus, where the bass either

does nothing or plays:

E:-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-- over and over until the next verse.

During the solo and the later parts of the song, the

bass plays just the roots:

G:----------1--3--1-----------

D:-3--1--5-----------5--3--3--

Thanks for reading this tab and for playing bass in the

first place.

The world always needs a bass player.
