There is a lot of overdubbing in this song. For the intro, Riff 1 is
played four times: once by itself, the second time accompanied by
Riff 2, and the third and fourth times accompanied by Riff 2 and 3.

For the chorus, Daron plays a slight variation of Riff 2 and Riff 3. He
also plays riff using a bouzouki during the chorus and towards the end
of the song. If you are wondering which part is played by the bouzouki,
it is the instrument that plays the notes Serj is singing when he says
"self-rightous suicide" and "angels deserve to die". The bouzouki adds
a nice piano-like sound.

The asterisks (*) mean that the measures are repeated. If you have
any comments, suggestions, or want to point out a mistake, please email
me.

There are many ways to play this song, and i find this the simplest. This
might look a lot like the others, but some tabs have little bits & pieces
missing. This IS how it's played live, and i have a video to prove it :)

Really fast picking listen to song for rhythm and number of strums

NOt totally sure about the verse but i think its just G picked int
hat rhythm and then the bridge is easy to figure out- i cant remember right now
Tunning: Standard (E A D G B e)
Artist:System Of A Down
Album:Toxicity
Title:Chop Suey!

Tunning is Drop-C and if you don't know by now here goes
tune from standard: tune all 6 of your stings down a whole step
then tune your 6th string (the biggest one) down a whole step again
if you are to lazing just go drop-d but don't expect it to sound right
and a whole step=2 frets

Ok my friend tought me this and it sounds perfect

(Why have you forsaken me, in your heart forsaken me...)

Thats pretty much it, its a pretty easy song. I play this song when I practice
with my band Relic and its perfect. You will be hearing about Relic in the near
future cause we got some good songs that are sure to land us a deal. Peace.

Ok... this is my first time tabbing but this should be easy since i got these
tabs from Daron himself - no joke. I know that there are a lot of different
versions of this song out there, pick whichever you think sounds the best.
And yes, this is pain stakingly(sp?) long

Tunning: Standard (E A D G B e)
Chop suey 

This is in standard, it sounds about the same and very good for not having to tune down
to drop c or drop d enjoy!


Intro!  The times hit is off but you all know the song so just listen for the right
rythem and times played.

While this part is happening in the song there is a second guitar on the recorded one
that plays intro part 1 throughout intro one and 2  but for just one guitar this works
just as well 

Now Go back to intro part one 
Then into 
Heavy riff,  
e-|--------------------------------------|
B-|--------------------------------------|

D-|--------------------------------------|
A-|-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-4-4-4-4-4-4------------|

Not the right amount of times played but just listen to it. 
Play it as many times as needed 
Then go into this little part

Wake up! Make up! Ect..  

After the chorus for a measure u just kinda go crazy with the verse progression for a
sec,  scream then go into 7 verses  listen to song if your confused about that 

Instead of just pausing you can just rake muted notes sounds 
Its also cool if you switch it up by sliding up to 12 between As well 
 
Reapeat  it as many times for you to fullfill your needs 


[Chorus!]
"I don't think you trust. Ect" 
Reapeat how ever manytimes
The picking patter it actually does is different this is just an example just play
around with it to figure out how to get it right  
e-|--------------------------------------|
B-|---------------------8----------------|

B-|--------3---------------8-------------|
G-|----------3---------------8-----------|
D-|----3-------3------8---------8--------|
A-|-1--------------6---------------------|
E-|--------------------------------------|
Then back into intro part 3 into verse and so on! 

And that's all of chop suey!
Please remeber this is in standard so it 
may not match perfectly but I still 
have a great time playing along and it works with bands too! And I never saw any
others in standard.


Intro x4 
Intro 2 x2
Intro 1 x2
Heavy riff x4
Verse x7 
Chorus x2 
Heavy riff x2 
Crazy verse x1
Verse x7

Suicide I cry when angels deserve to die
Tunning: Standard (E A D G B e)
I know what you're thinking. "Chop Suey! isn't in standard!". I am well aware that Chop Suey! isn't played in
standard, but I have a reason why I am tabbing it this way. (Que long back story). When I first started to
teach myself guitar, I didn't have a tuner. I really couldn't acurately play songs out of standrad tuning.
I really wanted to learn Chop Suey! and other SOAD songs, but couldn't because they all were out of standard.
I'm tabbing this in standard for all the beginners who are in my situation. Enjoy!

[Intro]

The intro has some over dubbed riffs.

[Outro]

Riff 1 (Heavy Distortion)-This part is the only part of the song that actually can't be played in standard
correctly. I have taken out the lowest note of the second chord because that is the only note that is not
playable in standard. It still sounds good.
e|------------------|
B|------------------|
G|----------3---4---|x6
D|------1---3---3---|

The sixth time, the last chord is strummed as they're saying, "angels deserve to die." The actual chord
they're playing (according to my hearing) is too low for standard. You can either strum the last chord or the
first chord for the ending.

Riff 2 (Clean)
Just like before, play each power chord 16 times. The first one is an example.
e|--6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6---8----5---10--6---8----5---10---10---11---8----11---10---11---8----11--|

I don't think riff 2 has any strumming like riff 1 at the end.

Hope you enjoyed!
