End on D --- 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!

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.
