Chords

From 'Full Circle' Album (2009) tabbed by jjhand This Creed song is heavier than their previous hits and has a nice Clean Guitar Verse riff that is simple. They have a second Guitar player on tour who doubles the parts shown or plays rhythm chords, so I'll note those parts. Please rate or comment on Ultimate-Guitar.com. Thanks! [Intro]
    (PH_bb is a tremelo bend with a pinch harmonic)
