Collective Soul -- "Why Pt. 2"

Very awesome song. I figured this out from listening to it on the radio,
so I hope everything's right. If the solo doesn't sound right...try octaves,
they use 'em a lot in this song. Lots'a wah, too.

Main Riff:
Heavy distortion

|--6-6-6--6-6-6--|

|--4-4-4--4-4-4--|

=======================================================================
Chorus:
Lead guitar -- wah
Rythm guitar -- distortion
|--------------|
|--------------|
|--3-----6--6--|
|--3--4--6--6--|
|--1--4--4--3--|
|-----2--------|

=======================================================================
Solo:
Heavy wah & distortion
(I know this first part is off, but I'm not really sure what Ross plays
-- wah is hard to tab. =P Anyhow...feel free to play this pretty much
however you want...I usually improvise on this. Rythm guitar plays the chorus riff.)
