Tabs

"Please Please Please" - Deftones (originally by the Smiths)
Taken from the "7 Words" cassette single...and Napster :)
Tabbed by Tim Millard ([email protected])
Standard tuning (EADGBE)

One of the Deftones' better songs, Chino's vocals in this are amazing
IMHO. Listen to song for proper timings, as these are probably off.

Key:

~ - Let ring

Solo / Outro:

During the solo, the notes are held and played VERY fast. I wasn't able to
get the exact timing from the song, so if you have the song handy, play
along with it. If you don't have the song or can't play that fast, play
the single notes.

The rhythm guitar plays the chorus chords until the point indicated...

E MajorE -15-14-12--14-15----17--19--21-22-17-14*--19--14--21-22-15-14-12~~~-
BB -----------------15-------------------------------------------------
G+G --------------------------------------------------------------------
D MajorD --------------------------------------------------------------------

* These chords come in over the solo at this point for the outro...
