The Water Lets You In – Book of Fears
Tabbed by: jakevogel
Tuning: Drop D
As the song progresses the accompanying instrumentation obscures whether to play the higher D or lower D.
Mostly it's the higher D but I tabbed it as well as I can hear it. Play around with it and play it
however it sounds best to you. Have fun...and watch "Bloodline" if you haven't already - it's awesome. ;-)
