Song – 3/4 time signature

Tab Key:
(5^) = right after he hits the open O's he frets a harmonic on the 5th
b = bend
\/ = whammy bar bend
/ = slide up
* = palm mute
^ph = pinch harmonic

Note: As most of you know, this song is pretty fast and hard to figure out </PRE><PRE>if you have tried, but after I saw Creed play it on SNL that made it a little easier.</PRE><PRE>

Intro – Just how Mark Plays it on SNL.
Verse – Sounds right</PRE><PRE>Chorus – Whammy bar bends and palm muting
Post Chorus – Rapid fire baby!
Bridge – The same as intro riffs

Intro – (Mark uses the wah wah as a filter)
