This is an awesome song by Creed. I've known how to play it for a long time, so
I thought I would share my version with you. Now Brian Marshall was a very good
bassist. He mixed in a lot of fills/slides. I haven't been able to figure all
of them out, but here is my interpretation. Drop-D tuning of course.

Intro -

-|-------------------------------|-

-|---3-3b-0---------3-4b-0-------|-
                                                                              
Verse - (not sure about the fill at the end)

-|--------------------------------------------------------------5h7-7p5-|-

-|-3-3-3--0-0--0-0--0-0---3--0-0--0-0--0-0---3-3b-0-5h7-----------------|-
                                                                              
Chorus -

Guitar Solo -                                                                      

-|---------------|-
-|-----------5-7-|-
-|-5-1-1/3-0-----|-

Fast Part -
                                                                              
-|----------------------------|-

-|----------------------------|-
-|-4-5-4-5-0-0--0-4-5-7-5-4-0-|-

And here's something else I figured out. It's the guitar solo, but on bass.
Obviously I can't do the high pitched parts, but here is what i figured out.

-|-7--5-5-5h7-5-5-5h7--7-9-10-9-10-12-9-9-10-7-7-7h9-5-5/7-|-
-|---------------------------------------------------------|-
-|---------------------------------------------------------|-
-|---------------------------------------------------------|-

-|----------12-14-15-18-19-21-18-19-15-18-14-15-12-14----12-------|-
-|-12-14-15-------------------------------------------15----14-15-|-
-|----------------------------------------------------------------|-
-|----------------------------------------------------------------|-

-|-------------------------------|-
-|-12-14-15-12-14-15-12-14-15-7~-|-
-|-------------------------------|-
-|-------------------------------|-

Well there is all I have of the solo, if you find anything wrong in it write
me an e-mail and I will fix it. Enjoy.
