Rage Against the Machine (Rage Against the
Machine) TAKE THE POWER BACK - tabbed by Kevin
Dole Typical of Tom, this songs has deceptively
simple riffs as well as strange fills and FX. He's using that damn Digitech Whammy Pedal again
. . . But here's the meat and potatoes of it. It's in "Drop D" tuning. In the beginning while the drums play it
sounds like he's picking all up and down different strings while palm muting. When the bass kicks in: Slide from the first to second chord slowly,
I think he turns the volume knob as well. e:--------------------------| B:--------------------------| G:-11/7--10/8--7/5----------| D:-11/7--10/8--7/5----------| A:-9-/9--8-/6--9/7----------| E:--------------------------| Riff A "Bring that shit in!" e:--------------------------| B:--------------------------| The fill
sounds like a huge slide from G:--------------------------| somewhere high
up on the neck, possibly mixed with D:------------3---------3---| a tweaking of
the volume knob. A:-----3-5-X----5--3-5------| E:-0-0----------------------| Riff B: Verse e:--------------------------| B:--------------------------| He fills with
that big slide again. G:-7-7-7-7---5--------------| D:-7-7-7-7---5--------------| A:-5-5-5-5---3--------------| E:--------------------------| Sometimes it's played like this, like in the
beginning of the second verse e:--------------------------| B:--------------------------| G:-5-5-5-5-5-5---5----------| D:-5-5-5-5-5-5---5----------| A:-7-7-7-7-7-7---3----------| E:--------------------------| Chorus "We gotta take the power
back!" e:--------------------------| B:--------------------------| He fills with
the "chirping" and he makes G:-3---3-5-5^6--X-X-X-X-----| a bell ringing
sound. I think it's D:---5----------X-X-X-X-----| harmonics . .
. . A:--------------X-X-X-X-----| E:--------------X-X-X-X-----| solo (too fast to hard too much! but i'll
get you started off right . . .) e:-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- B:--------------------------------------------------15-15-13--------------13-15-13------ G:-19-19--19-19--19-19--19-19--19-19--19-19--19-17----------15-14---14-15--------------- D:---------------------------------------------------------------------------------14-15 A:-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- E:-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- post solo e:-------------------------------| B:-------------------------------| G:-7-6-5----------7-9-10-12-12---| D:-7-6-5-3-5-7-------------------| A:-5-4-3-3-5-7-------------------| E:-------3-5-7-------------------| "teacher stands in front of the class . .
