Here's the tab for System of a Down's rocking cover of the Berlin song
"Metro".
MAD props to the Weasel's tab  for getting me
started. 
Although much of it was incorrect, some of the parts were correct and
saved me 
some time. Listen to the song to get the timing down. Let me know if you
have 
any questions.

I play this part by muting the strings at the 3rd fret then strumming
the dead 
notes on the strings BEHIND my hand (i.e. between my hand and the nut).
I suggest doing whatever sounds best on your guitar.

Riff 1
e]--12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12---
B]-------------------------------
G]-------------------------------  (x2) Then play some more of 
D]-------------------------------       the muted strings down
A]-------------------------------       around the 14th fret.
E]-------------------------------

The Bass kicks in, play Riff 1 two more times, then play this....

During verse 1, there is no guitar playing, just the bass. But, if you
want 
to play along with your guitar, play this....
