Flood tab by Tool

"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 D tuned.

Bear with me. My rhythem ain't so good

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:

A -3-5-6-5---3-5---6-5---3--  :|    you know the drill
