Creed – With Arms Wide Open (Guitar Solo Tab)

Auto-scroll

Chords

Alternative acoustic cover version. Intended for solo play with or without singing. I didn't quite like the other chord versions, and IMO the tabbed ones do not translate well to acoustic. Play around with a capo if the standard key doesn't suit your singing voice, I've found Capo 6th to sound okay. Chords (names might not be 100% accurate) EADGBE Fingering Notes C x3201x x32x1x C/B x2001x x2xx1x C/G 33201x 342x1x Am x0201x xx2x1x (not standard Am) F 13321x 13421x (barre) Em x2200x x23xxx From the second chorus onward I find it a bit nicer to strum instead of pick.
