********** * Floods * VERSION 1.1 transcribed by Jonathan Z. Gehman ********** jzg1@cornell.edu ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ From 'THE GREAT SOUTHERN TRENDKILL' ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ like many other Pantera songs... ============================================ drop D tune then drop all strings 1/2 step ============================================ note: i put most of the effort figuring out the outro solo (6:14 to 6:59) because it sounds so damn good. I think i nailed that part pretty well. What i have of the verse part is sketchy -- a few riffs and the heavy interlude chords. This tab is much more complete than my first post, but it still needs a little help. I'll be offline this summer, so hopefully by the time i get back in September '96 someone will have completed it. main verse riff -- acoustic =============== Eb||------------------------------------------|| Bb||------------------------------------------|| Gb||.----------------------------------------.|| Db||.----0--4--3---4--------4--0--3--4--0----.|| Ab||--2---------------1--------------------1--|| Db||------------------------------------------|| "Wash away us all..." -- stomp on the distortion ===================== Eb|---------------------------| Bb|-----------------------3---| Gb|-----------------------2---| Db|-----------4-----------0---| Ab|--------5--------5-----0---| Db|-0--/4--------3-----4--0---| here's a stab at the acoustic chords: "then throughout..." "cold hearted..." "and at night..." "wash away..."

Insert this riff instead: Eb|------------------------------| Bb|------------------------------| Gb|------------------------------| Db|--0--1--2--3------3--0--3--2--| Ab|--0--1--2--3------3--0--3--2--| Db|--0--1--2--3------3--0--3--2--| and now the first solo (yea, right!) actually, it's a bit like the second solo, so looking at that may help Here's the outro solo. It should be pretty darn correct -- right down to the last note. Enjoy!- this one sounds SO cool with massive reverb, a touch of delay, and of course, a fair level of distortion.
