And someone asked me to put this so here. The tuning is
Guitar 1 (Robb Flynn)[Acoustic]

|--------------------------|
|6~-665---665-6~-665---665-|
|------7~-----------7~-----|
|--7---8~5------7---8~-----|
|5~-----------5~------6----|
|--------------------------| Play this 6 times.

Guitar 2 (Phil Demmel)[Acoustic]

This guitar enters during the final "665" of the first time playing Robb Flynn's riff.

|10108

Phil then plays:

|--------------------------------------|
|10~--101086~-10108-10~--101086~-10108-|
|--------------------------------------|
|----7-----8~5----------7-----8~-------|
|5~~----------------5~~---------6------|
|--------------------------------------| He plays this 5 times.

Guitar 3 (Robb Flynn) [Distortion Electric]

Robb basically plays the same as his acoustic part but without the bass notes. I'll tab
just so you understand. He comes in on the 3rd time of Robb's acoustic part (or the 2nd
Phil's. It's your choice who's riff you measure it by).

|--------------------------|
|6~-665---665-6~-665---665-|
|------7~-----------7~-----|
|------8~-----------8~-----|
|5~-----------5~-----------|
|--------------------------| He plays this 3 times.

Then Guitars 1 and 3 (both Robb Flynn) change to:

|------------
|5~~~665-5~~~
|-------------|
|7~~~----7~~~-|
|-------------|
|-------------|

Guitar 2 (Phil Demmel) comes in along with guitars 1 and 3 with this (again, 10s not 1-0s):

|----------------
|10~~~10108-10~~~
|-----------------|
|7~~~~------7~~~~-|
|-----------------|
|-----------------|

Now guitars 3 (Robb Flynn) and 4 (Phil Demmel) [Distortion Electric] fades in and then
with:

|-

The next guitar part is (and thanks to Metal_Rich for this! I don't know which guitar is which though.):

	Yes, definitely about the war and what's happening in the country right now. The first part of the song is talking about how all we do is look at the past (9/11) and how the government uses it to keep us in fear of what "might" happen again to motivate us to stay in the war. He's also talking about how the war is for oil. He says you shouldn't feel bad about disagreeing with the war because you're not the only one that feels that way. And like sacrificed mentioned about, he's not telling Bush that he wants to take his place, but to make better decisions for this country.

	Well no doubt about it, this song's barrel is pointed directly at bush and the wars that hes causing. Rob is sayin that hes not trying to take bush's place he just wants him to see what hes doing to the world and the innocent people in it.

	on another note, not only is this talking of the current war, it talks of all wars with "There's something fucking wrong When war takes sons and daughters Our lambs misled to slaughter"

No Picture Sal Average	#7 by Sal With The Lights Out at Oct 9, 2007 at 8:40 PM EST
	"So fucking far from perfect, A mind wrecked from abuse" again a reference to perfectionism and his past. Its also an anti-war song, clearly shown with "There's something fucking wrong,When war takes sons and daughters"
