Township Rebellion by Rage Against The Machine
 
 
 
Tabbed by R. Allen Canterbury
 
 
 
This is a pretty cool song, but it sounds kinda weird with the bendy thing
 
going on at the beginning.  What I call Fig 1. is something that sounds like
 
it might fit w/ the song.  I don't know if the guitar plays that part w/ an
 
octaver or not.  5b means fret 5, pluck, bend up 1/2 step.  Listen to the song
 
to get the rhythm of that part.  You may want to use light distortion too
 
(which leads me to believe the guitar plays that part.).  If the guitar does
 
actually play Fig 1., then the bass just rests during those parts.

I think you're a little off here: [tab] (x2) G:-----------------------------------------------| D:---------------------------------7b--5--------*| A:--------------3-5--------3-5------------7--5--*| D:--0--0--3--5-------0--0-------0----------------| [/tab] Sounds like you're missing an unbent A at the end before the repeat. Like so: [tab] G:-----------------------------------------------| D:--------------------------------7b-7-5--------*| A:--------------3-5--------3-5------------7--5--*| D:--0--0--3--5-------0--0-------0----------------| [/tab] Aside from that, it sounds pretty damn close to me. A lot closer than the other one posted here anyway.
