Born of a Broken Man by Rage Against the Machine

 

Tabbed by Paul Fivey p.fivey@dundee.ac.uk

 

Sorry to have to correct you Laura but if you're gonna be

a smart ass about other people's wrong tabs, you really

shouldn't make a fool of yourself by posting the wrong corrections.

Hopefully, the guy who originally tabbed it realises this.

 

If you need help with any RATM songs please feel free to email me and ask.

 

Here's how to actually play this song (N.B. Drop D tuning):

 

There is no bass in the verses.

 

Chorus riff:

 

N.B. try prebending and releasing the G# note on the 5th fret 1st string.

 

G---------------------------------------------------

D---------------------------------------------------

A---------------------------------------------------

D-0---6/5-3-0--7-0-0--3-0--x-x-x-x-3-0--7-0-0--3-0--

 

In the bridge they play

 

G-----------------------

D-----------------------

A-----------------------

D-0-0-0-0-0-0-0---------   three times

 

then:

 

G---------------------------------------------------

D---------------------------------------------------

A---------------------------------------------------

D-0---6/5-3-0--7-0-0--3-0--x-x-x-x-3-0--7-0-0--3-0--

 

East as that.

 

I'd suggest playing the muted notes as close to the nut as possible to get the right

sound with no harmonics.
