Capo on 9th Fret, although as System of a Down pointed out in the comments, the recorded version is Capo 8th
tuned slightly flat. Really just put the capo on whatever fret suits your singing voice/ability (I like it on
5 personally). Corrected lyrics and added 2nd verse etc... Thanks to System of a Down for input and
corrections!
