This song simply played with two distorted guitars.
There are no compressors or something else, itґs
just the pure sound. Donґt use too much basses.
Funk out, jam on, enjoy the outro…

Interlude:
James lays a magical little lead solo over it, you can barely hear
it, but itґs played. Just listen very close! Use the d major scale
to play along!
I prefer using a flanger for Billyґs part and some lovely feedback
to come closer to the record.

Outro:
After Billy has sung "I will, I will, goodbye", Billy and
James continue into another solo, just feedback and some
guitar noise. Hold the last chord and then let hammer ons
ring, on the A, C and G powerchords, into feedback.
Thatґs it!
Drown
No matter where you are
I can still hear you when you drown
You travelled very far
Just to see if Iґll come around
When Iґm down
All of those yesterdays
Coming down
No matter where you are
I can still hear you when you dream
You travelled very far
You travelled far like star
Just to see if Iґll come around
And you are
All of those yesterdays
Coming down
Was it something someone said?
Is it something someone said?
Yesterday the sky was you
And I still feel the same
Nothing left for me to do
And I still feel the same
I wish, I wish I could fly
I wish, I wish I could lie
I will, I will try
I will, I will, goodbye
