Praise The Lord And Pass The Ammunition Tab

by Serj Tankian


Serj Tankian - Praise The Lord And Pass The Ammunition - Standard Tuning


Firstly, this is my first ever tab, and is done completely by ear, so if some parts seem
tips to help make this and future tabs better.

Also, Guitar 1 & 2 aren't actually a lead & rhythm part, but merely to show that the two
different, and how they compare.

NOTICE: This is a very trippy song with many artificial tones as well as real, so I am
doing the main parts. BECAUSE this song is trippy, it is extremely important to listen in
timing. Also, some parts may sound a bit odd, however play along with the song and it 
all be right, though there may be too many slides >.<

Enjoy! ^^
