This is an awesome song by Creed. I've known how to play it for a long time, so
I thought I would share my version with you. Now Brian Marshall was a very good
bassist. He mixed in a lot of fills/slides. I haven't been able to figure all
of them out, but here is my interpretation. Drop-D tuning of course.
Intro -
-|-------------------------------|-
-|----------4-0------------4-0---|-
-|-2------------0-2------------0-|-
-|---3-3b-0---------3-4b-0-------|-
Verse - (not sure about the fill at the end)

And here's something else I figured out. It's the guitar solo, but on bass.
Obviously I can't do the high pitched parts, but here is what i figured out.

Well there is all I have of the solo, if you find anything wrong in it write
me an e-mail and I will fix it. Enjoy.
