*do not let the second stroke on each chord ring. mute the strings with your pick hand
immediately after you strike the chord
**if you want to, you can also add a muted stroke in between the Bm chord and the B5
to achieve a more staccato-type sound

x2 the chorus
second time guitar 2 enters with distortion playing the same thing (except goes to the
notes of the B5 twice instead of once)
as for the second guitar in the second verse, he's playing intervals, different combinations
of C#, Eb, B and one or two other notes... its easy enough to figure out.

i believe the rythem guitar is playing the chorus under the solo but i'm not 100% on that
This tab is not 100% correct, i'm not going to pretend i'm some musical genius, however
do believe that it is very close. I made this tab just to get another Sufferer and
song up, (caus that cd kicks so much ass) and it is meant to be a basic rendering of the
I would love to hear corrections and additions, especially the chorus. When you read
tab listen to the song, and if it doesn't sound right to you, go with how you think it
tabs on this site are hardley ever correct over your ear, i've found from experience.
p.s. sorry for the grammar, its late.
Please send any corrections/additions and the chorus to reston.88@gmail.com

| This song to me, is him talking to his father... His father says "Warm yourself by the fire, son, And the morning will come soon. I’ll tell you stories of a better time, In a place that we once knew." The son knows of this place.. but as we get older, we see how hard things can really get. His dad is trying to protect him, but in the process is holding him down. The son proves he is unafraid of the future lying ahead, knowing how rough it can get and how to deal with it. "We are the angry and the desperate, The hungry, and the cold, We are the ones who kept quiet, And always did what we were told. But we’ve been sweating while you slept so calm, In the safety of your home. We’ve been pulling out the nails that hold up Everything you’ve known." He is just telling his 'father' OR an authority figure, that he doesn't need their help, and that he can make it on his own and that he is beyond them. To be brave and get through the things (that held down the ones he's known) and not be afraid from ever knowing the truth in his eyes. | |

| Yeah, just about being let down by authority. This song was orginally named "Diaspora" which can be associated to the dispersion of Jews outside of Israel from the sixth century, or, to the dispersion of a people from their original homeland. | |

| I think this song (as most rise against songs) could be interpreted in lots of different ways. It is or could be about an 3'rd world refugee fleeing his own country and home. But it could aswell be about someone living in the first world rebelling against the statous quo and society and/or his parents, leaving what he once knew (or thought he knew behind) for something unknown i think. | |

| ?? Haven't any of you seen the video? At the end they spell out "Free Trade" with stuff from the store where the video is shot. The video shows products sold in America then shows the poor people who make it from different countries and slap a "Made in America" sticker on the product. | |

| I think he sings ; Don’t hold me up now, I can STEEL my own ground, I don’t need your help now, You will let me down, down, down! That could easily fit in with the whole Israel thing dont you think ? | |
