Prison Song System of a Down
___________________
/ System of a Down / This song tells about how senseless the American government's
/ Prison Song / way of handling the growing drug issue is, as they are using
/ Toxicity / more money on the prison sector than they are using on getting
/__________________/ rid of the criminal drug addicts that actually load them.
Guitar I (C G C F A D) - Electric, Heavily Distorted
Guitar II (C G C F A D) - Electric, Crunchy
Guitar III (D G C F A D) - Acoustic, Clean
*note*
the waiting time in the intro is very tricky - I won't assure
that it's 100% correct, but this is my best suggestion, and
I won't exclude that it may be the band's common feeling!
INTRO:
102 bpm (roughly)
