Subject: c/creed/say_i.tab

Song: Say I
Artist: Creed
Originally tabbed by "Smog's Breath" <crater6@hotmail.com>
Modified by "AbnormalMatt" dalamar1@sympatico.ca

When I first saw this tab and played it, it didn't seem quite right. So, I
grabbed my axe and Creed CD and went to town. I found a number of things
that didn't josh(the verse tab, the "who is to blame" part, and the
beginning of the outro), so I figured it out and added to the already good
tab by Smog's Breath. It is now, IMHO, exactly as is on the CD, except for
the solo during the bridge (if anyone can figure that out, by all means,
add it).
