_______________________________________________________________ Rage Against The Machine - Killing In The Name Of _______________________________________________________________ Artist: Rage Against The Machine Song: Killing In The Name Of Album: Rage Against The Machine (epic) Transcribed by Flip (fliptabs@hotmail.com) This is a classic song, definitely one of my favourites. It's a fairly hard song to play but it's a killer once you've nailed it. I know most of this is right 'cause every time I got to my local guitar shop I always flick through the RATM tab book (I really should buy it). The only thing I didn't tab is the Solo because you need a DigiTech Whammy pedal and I don't have one. Sorry, enjoi anyway. Drop D tuning: (low to high) D-A-D-G-B-E Intro: (dist.)

Interlude: (dist.) I'm not actually sure how many times each chords is strummed. It says tremolo picking in the book so I've done 16 each here. |--------------------------------------------------- |--------------------------------------------------- |--7--7--7--7--7--7--7--7--7--7--7--7--7--7--7--7--- |--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x--- |--5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5--- |--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--- Fuck you I won't do what you tell me --------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------- --9-----------------10----------------12----------- --x---x16-----------x---x16-----------x---x16------ --7-----------------8-----------------10----------- --0-----------------0-----------------0------------ --------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------- --14----------------15----------------17----------- --x---x16-----------x---x16-----------x---x16------ --12----------------13----------------15----------- --0-----------------0-----------------0------------ ---------------------------------------------------| ---------------------------------------------------| --19-19-19----19-19-19----19-19-19----19-19-19-----| --x--x--x-----x--x--x-----x--x--x-----x--x--x------| --17-17-17----17-17-17----17-17-17----17-17-17-----| ---------------------------------------------------| Fuck you I won't do what you tell me Riff C- F5 G5 |--------------------------------------------------| |--------------------------------------------------| |--7--7--x--x--7-----x--7--x--------------5--------| |--x--x--x--x--x-----x--x--x--------------x--------| |--5--5--x--x--5-----x--5--x--3-----5-----3--------| |-----------------------------3-----5--------------| Fuck you I won't do what you tell me [Riff C, played eight times] Outro: (dist.)
