We have an official Toxicity tab made by UG professional guitarists.
Check out the tab
Song:           TOXICITY
Artist:         SYSTEM OF A DOWN
Album:          Toxicity
Track No:       12
Label:          American
Submitted By: IcEmAn
Tabbed by:      Edd Dawson (All my own work).
 
 
This was such a cool song I had to tab it. It's all pretty simple
really, although it's a bit tricky sometimes to get those fast chord
changes in the chorus sounding distinct, especially with a guitar
tuned as low as you need for this song. Enjoy :)

My notation:
 ^ means bend.
[PALM MUTED... ...] means palm-mute the notes.
[MUTED] also means palm-mute the notes.
 
Only reason I used two different symbols for muting is that it looks
neater in some places.
 
 
Ok here's the structure:

ok... I like it! For sure! But I want something that is more exact to how Doran played it! That makes this a 3 star for me... check out the vevo video for Toxicity and pay close attention to him. This is incorrect by how he plays it.
