American Cliche
by Filter
from the album The Amalgamut


E string tuned to D

Intro and verse (play 13x):  
||.-------------------------------------|
||.-------------------------------------|
||--------------------------------------|
||-0-3-3-0-3-0-0-0-0-0-3-3-0-3-6-6-6-6-6|


Chorus (play 2x):

||.-------------------------------------|
||.-------------------------------------|
||--------------------------------------|
||-0-3-3-0-3-0-0-0-0-0-3-3-0-3-6-6-6-6-6|

Then chorus again (play 2x):

|----------------------.||
|----------------------.||
|-----------------------||
|-0---3-2-0---0---3-2-0-||

Bridge (this was the frustrating part, since it's turned so low, 
it's hard to hear if he moves up to the third fret on the 'E' after 
playing open 16x, or if he just keeps playing it open...esp. since
the most notable bass parts are all open)
(Play 4x)
(this is an American cliche, American, American, get on the bus...)
||----------------------------------|
||----------------------------------|
||----------------------------------|
||-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0|

||----------------------------------|
||----------------------------------|
||----------------------------------|
||-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3|?

Outro (play 17 times and is same as the verse), side note, the last 
three times it sounds like he plays a note higher, but ignore it, it's 
the guitar only it appears that adds an extra higher note.

I am pretty sure this is right. I used a pick and for most of 
the song strummed.  If you really want, see the tab for their song,
"Gerbil" off of their album, "Short Bus."  It's nearly the same tab 
in terms of the verse.
*This is my first tab, lemme know how I did if you want. :)
