                             Ching Chime by the Serj Tankian
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Macejko

Tuning: Standard
Key: C

The main riff is played on ba?lama, which is an eastern variaton of lute.
This is a version for acoustic guitar (add a little palm-muting where you feel it):

e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|---------3-2-2-0--------0--------------------------------------------------|
D|-------------------3-----------2-------3-3-2-------------------------------|
A|-3-3-3-3---------3---3-3---3-3---4-4-4-------4-3--3-3-3--3-4---------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|

e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-------------0-0-2-2-2-3-3-3-5---6-6-5-5-3-3-2-2----5--3-2-0---------------|
D|-----2-2-3-3---------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-3-3---------------------------3-----------------3-------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|

Listen to the song to get that rhytm into your hands.


This is played over the ba?lama melody later on:

e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-5-----6--5----5-----6--5---5-----6--5---5-6-5---5-6-5---------------------|
D|-----5-------------5------------5------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|

Chords in the chorus (for acoustic guitar, for electric just play two lowest notes of each one):

e|-3----------1----------1----------4----------------------------------------|
B|-4----------1----------1----------4----------------------------------------|
G|-5----------3----------1----------5----------------------------------------|
D|-5----------3----------3----------6----------------------------------------|
A|-3----------1----------3----------6----------------------------------------|
E|-----------------------1----------4----------------------------------------|

In the bridge there is a short part where the ba?lama player
plays something else, just improvise over that bit ;)
