This is how I play Drown, I tried to duplicate the guitar tones as close
as possible by using alot of open strings, as the pumpkins do alot. Any
comments would be appreciated. Other songs are coming!

Here are some licks from "Drown" which are closer to the CD than those in the
original tab...
- for the "..Was it something someone said.." part, play this:
|------------------------------------------------------------------------
|--10---10---12-12-12--10------------------------------------------------
|--11---11---11-11-11--11-----11----11-11/14-14\11-----------------------
|---9----9----9--9--9---9------------------------------------------------
|---0----0----0---------0------9-----9--9/12-12\-9-----------------------
|---x----x----x---------x------0-----0--0--0--0--0-----------------------
- or something like that anyway. Also, for the end part of the 2nd solo, play
this:
|------------------------------------------------------------------------
|------------------------------------------------------------------------
|-------------------------17--17-17-17\16-16-16\14-14-14/16\12--12-------
|------11-12--14-12-11---------------------------------------------------
|--12---------------------15--15-15-15\14-14-14\12-12-12/14\10--10-------
|------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Billy has used these types of chords in other songs, so he's probably
using them here too. Thanks to S.Lee for the original tabs.
