4 degrees by Tool from the BMG/Zoo recording "Undertow" Transcription by Sam Rowe riddley@geocities.com riddley@kaniggit.avalon.net http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Alley/1075/ copyright Sam Rowe 1997 This document cannot be distributed for pay. This document may be used in any way as long as it remains unchanged. I've looked at the other transcriptions for this song and wanted to set the record straight. This is a tab for the entire song, solo and all (including the parts that other tabs skip entirely.) The intro has a bunch of delay on it, giving it that shimmery, almost sitar like quality. It's also strummed and I really haven't the patience or desire to tab it exactly. However, I should note that Adam _is_ strumming the full bar chords, not just the D, G, and B strings exclusively.
