"Flood" - by Tool

One of the best songs on "Undertow", it often gets overlooked beacuse
of its long opening. As with lots of Tool songs, it's Drop Chord diagramD MajorD tuned.

Bear with me. My rhythem ain't so good

/ = slide up
\ = slide down
~ = bend

Opening:       (slowly)
low D: -0--0--6--6-6----6/////////12--12

Opening Part Riff:
d -5--5-6-6-6-6-0-3-3-3-2-0-0-0   muted   2-3------0
Chord diagramA augmentedA -5--5-6-6-6-6-0-3-3-3-2-0-0-0    then   2-3------0
Chord diagramD MajorD -5--5-6-6-6-6-0-3-3-3-2-0-0-0   slowly  2-3------0
                                  lowder
When Opening Part Riff is repeated:
d -5--5-6-6-6-6-0-3-3-3-2-0-0-0-6  |
Chord diagramA augmentedA -5--5-6-6-6-6-0-3-3-3-2-0-0-0-6 :|   rinse and repeat
Chord diagramD MajorD -5--5-6-6-6-6-0-3-3-3-2-0-0-0-6  |

Main Part Riff (single string):
Chord diagramA augmentedA -3-5-6-5-0-3-5-0-6-5-0-3-0  :|    rinse and repeat

Main Part Riff (chords):
d -3-5-6-5-0-3-5-0-6-5-0-3-0  :|
Chord diagramA augmentedA -3-5-6-5-0-3-5-0-6-5-0-3-0  :|    rinse and repeat
Chord diagramD MajorD -3-5-6-5-0-3-5-0-6-5-0-3-0  :|

When Maynard says "This ground is not the rock I thought it would be", you play:

d -3---3---3---3---0-0--0-0--0-0--0-0
Chord diagramA augmentedA -3---3---3---3---0-0--0-0--0-0--0-0
Chord diagramD MajorD -3---3---3---3---0-0--0-0--0-0--0-0

When he says "I was wrong. This changes everything", you play:

d -5----------0               0
Chord diagramA augmentedA -5-let ring-0 "I was wrong" 0 "This..."
Chord diagramD MajorD -5----------0               0

                                bend and slowly release
d -0/////////////10----9-10-12------12~~~~~~~

d -13-12--10-12--13-12--10--10-12-13-12--17-15--15\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\3

I'm not sure which notes to play for the "Runnin' away" part. Sorry.

Be careful to listen for variations when they don't play the
open note. For example, they play:

Chord diagramA augmentedA -3-5-6-5---3-5---6-5---3--  :|    you know the drill

Ending Riff:
d -0--0--0--6--0--5--0--8--0-1-2-3
Chord diagramA augmentedA -0--0--0--6--0--5--0--8--0-1-2-3
Chord diagramD MajorD -0--0--0--6--0--5--0--8--0-1-2-3

Chord diagramA augmentedA -0--0--0--6--0--5--0--8--0-3-4-2
Chord diagramD MajorD -0--0--0--6--0--5--0--8--0-3-4-2

Chord diagramA augmentedA -0--0--0--6--0--5--0--8--0-1-2-3
Chord diagramD MajorD -0--0--0--6--0--5--0--8--0-1-2-3

d -0--0--0--6--0--5--0--8--0-33333
Chord diagramA augmentedA -0--0--0--6--0--5--0--8--0-33333   <----- strum really fast here
Chord diagramD MajorD -0--0--0--6--0--5--0--8--0-33333               at the 3's

Final Part:
d -3---3---3---5-6-5 :|
Chord diagramA augmentedA -3---3---3---5-6-5 :|      repeat 4 times, then
Chord diagramD MajorD -3---3---3---5-6-5 :|
