***   UNDERWATER RAINDROPS   ***

                                 by Buckethead


tabbed by:   Dropdeee
tuning:      Half-step down
effects:     Minor delay
video:       https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rPTvLzxBcAo



NOTE:        Each new phrase begins on the chord change.  Follow that pattern and
             this tab will flow perfectly.
             It's also broken down into 8 phrases at a time, following the chord
             progression of the song. (approx 43 seconds each)

   ***   I have also added the rhythm guitar chords at the bottom of the page   ***

           ***   aaaaaand here's the link to the backing track I made   ***
