This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

DEFTONES:THE CHAUFFEUR(DURAN DURAN COVER)

-----------------------------------------

TAB BY CHRIS KYURRE(kyurre@hotmail.com)

TUNING:DROPPED D(D,A,D,G,B,E)

STANDARD (E,A,D,G,B,E)

SONG IS TABBED FOR BOTH TUNINGS, HOWEVER USING

DROPPED D IS BETTER FOR A SINGLE GUITARIST TO LEARN

Note:I've tabbed all the guitar parts, despite

---- Deftones only have one Guitarist, but Chino

does play guitar sometimes!!!!

Note:Timing and Rhythm is not included, but the song

---- is simple enough for that to be figured out!!!!

but it runs at the same time that the main riff is played)
