Resurrection from Fear Factory's Obsolete.

First off, let me just say that the rest of the tabs on this sight for Fear 
Factory are all wrong.  Dino played B-tuning through the first two albums 
and uses B and A tuning on Obsolete.  So if you cant figure out why those 
tabs sound wrong, cuz they are.

Tuning-  B , tune down a perfect fifth.  Just drop your A string to match 
your E and then go drop everything else to match your new E string.
When u crank it up with distortion, it will probably sound pretty choppy, 
just cut out the mid-band and turn the distortion all the way up.  Also, if 
your strings are buzzing a lot, using higher guage makes downtuning easier.

This song is pretty easy to play, but if you can get your axe tuned right, 
it sounds great to play along too.

Long intro synth part.  The notes for guitar follow in case you cant wait 
for the guitar part to start.

Pre-chorus

D--5/77777---5/7----------
A--5/77777---5/7--88888888
E--3/55555---3/5--88888888

A--5/77777---5-5-5-0--8-8-888-7-7-777-3-3-333-5-5-555
E--3/55555---3-3-3-0--8-8-888-7-7-777-3-3-333-5-5-555
B------------------0--6-6-666-5-5-555-1-1-111-3-3-333

Last time you play this rif dring the first chorus, end with a 

E--10--- thats a ten

The rest of the song is just a repeat of these riffs only you chang the 
number of times you play them and a couple of strumming changes, but the 
chords are all the same.  The song ends on a B-sharp.
