Deftones - "Beware (The Water)"

Tabbed by: Cory McKnight
Email: sic133mhz@hotmail.com

Tuning: Drop D

Ok, I'm doing this tab just so that people can play along with
this awesome song. I know for a fact that most of this is not
what Chino plays, but it's better than nothing. Stephen plays a
second seven string guitar tuned down to somewhere in the
neighborhood of drop Bb or something, but we won't worry about
that.

Intro: Just some static/feedback from Stephen's guitar, then the
keyboard part below comes in.

D|-10-10-11-10--10-13-11-10-10--10-10-11-10--6---|

That's about all there is to it. The rhythm on the outro will take
a little while to get used to, but just listen to the song and you'll
pick it up. Hope you guys find this helpful, and don't forget to buy Deftones' new CD

About artist:

Deftones is a rock band from Sacramento, California formed in 1988, consisting of Chino Moreno (lead vocals and guitar), Stephen Carpenter (guitar), Chi Cheng (bass), Frank Delgado (keyboards and turntables), and Abe Cunningham (drums and percussion). Their sound has been described as ranging from alternative metal and dream pop[1], to progressive rock[2].

Critics have often praised them as one of the more unique rock bands of recent years for their innovative, atmospheric music; as Johnny Loftus writes, "Rock critics usually reserve a special place for Deftones above or at least away from the rest of the turn-of-the-century metal movement [...] Deftones have always seemed more curious, more willing to incorporate traditionally revered sounds like dream pop or D.C. hardcore into their northern California alt-metal."[3]
