Resume [Riff 4], but on D in place of A: D C G A C G I wish, I wish I could fly I wish, I wish I could lie(?) I will, I will try I will, I will, goodbye Song continues on D, feedback solo. Yeah, good luck. End on D This is how I play Drown, I tried to duplicate the guitar tones as close as possible by using a lot of open strings, as the Pumpkins do a lot. ************************************ | h Hammer-on | p Pull-off | / Slide up | \ Slide down | ~ Vibrato ************************************
