Unthinking Majority Tab

   
The unthinking majority
This is my first tab and it was done by ear so id say its accurate for a first time
(the intro and tuning are right though the harmonics in EADGBE would be on the 5th fret 
the B string which is pretty
difficult to play a tap harmonic on for the intro)

Tuning
C G C F A D (both guitars)

Tablature Legend
----------------
 S   - shift slide
  - natural harmonic
n(n) - tapped harmonic
 T   - tap
 PM  - palm muting

  The Unthinking Majority - Serj Tankian

We don't need your democracy.
Execute them kindly for me.
Take them by their filthy nostrils
Put them up in doggy hostels.

We don't need your hypocrisy
Execute real democracy.
Post-industrial society
The unthinking majority

Anti-depressants
Controlling tools of your system
Making life more tolerable (x2)
