As recorded by Disturbed
(On the 2000 album The Sickness)

This tab is perfect, but it's from the 'The Sickness Tab Book',
I take no credit for this.

Oh, by the way...You mispelled "too" when you were calling those unable to figure the rest out too stupid. Ahem..

I think the rhythm of the verse is wrong, I think it should be like:

A|1-2-----------------------5-(5)-7|
E|3-0-0-0000-0000-0-0-0-0-0-3-(3)-5|

thats how i hear it.... but this is a great tab, well done!

I want to post or [tab]
