Creep Stone Temple Pilots This is the intro part. I just used the basics, he is strumming but I just wrote down the accents. That Bsus4 might be called something else but just for the sake of calling it something I called it Bsus4. ---> C Bsus4 E ^ EsusG C ^ Bsus4 E(hold) ^ :--------------:--2--2---:-----------:-3----:-----------:--2--2--:--------- :---1-----1--1-:--4--4---:-----------:------:--1---1--1-:--4--4--:--------- :--------------:--2--2---:-----------:------:-----------:--2--2--:--------- :---2-----2--2-:--4--4---:--2---2---2:-2----:--2---2--2-:--4--4--:--2------ :---3-----3--3-:--2--2---:--2---2---2:-2----:--3---3--3-:--2--2--:--2------ :---3-----3--3-:--2--2---:-----------:------:--3---3--3-:--2--2--:--------- This is the verse. Just keep repeating this until you get to the end of the verse where he just stays on E. In all of these E chords he adds G(1st string 3rd fret) on the off beats...listen for it.

The last two bars are not just C and D chords. The C is fingered differently. Use your fourth finger for the C, your third finger for the E and your second finger for the high C. To go up to the D from there just slide your hand up two frets and bar the second fret. I realize it would be just as easy to play a normal first position C with a first position D but this sounds better.

This is what I got out of it anyway. The chords are simple so I'll write the lead. Now, I might have made a mistake in this part, If so please message me and tell me so I can fix it. Keep playing the first two bars until the last part of the chorus. The only difference is the last three notes. end part --> :-------------------:-------------------:-------------------:------------------ :------------------0:--------0---------::-----------------0-:--------0--------- :--------0-------0--:------0------------:-------0-------0---:------0----------- :------2-------3----:----5-----------2--:-----2-------3-----:----5------------- :----2--------------:-----------2--5---::---2---------------:------------1--2-- :--0---------1------:--2------5---------:-0---------1-------:--2-------5------- Lyrics: Forward yesterday, makes me want to stay What they said was real, makes me want to steal Living under house, yes I'm living I'm a mouse All I got is time, got no meaning just a rhyme Take time with a wounded hand, cause It likes to heal Take time with a wounded hand, guess I like to steal Take time with a wounded hand, cause it likes to heal, I like to steal I'm half the man I used to be (yes I feel as the sun, it fades to grey) I'm half the man I used to be I'm half the man I used to be Half the man I used to be, Half the man I used to be Feeling Uninspired, think I'll start a fire Everybody run, Bobby's got a gun Think you're kind'a neat, then she tells me I'm a creep Friends don't mean a thing, guess I'll leave it up to me If you have any questions, concerns, comments, foibles, mistakes, stinkers, etc. please mail me at: uhlnpya@Oak.grove.iup.edu thanks, Dave Ritchie This is a better version of Creep by the Stone Temple Pilots than you have at the moment. Creep Stone Temple Pilots This is the intro part. It's just the strumming of three chords: C, Bsus4, and Em7. I haven't written down the rhythm, but its easy to get. C Bsus4 Em7 C Bsus4 Em7(hold) :---0--:--2--:--3--:--0--:--2--:--3------ :---1--:--4--:--3--:--1--:--4--:--3------ :---0--:--2--:--0--:--0--:--2--:--0------ :---2--:--4--:--2--:--2--:--4--:--2------ :---3--:--2--:--2--:--3--:--2--:--2------ :------:--2--:--0--:-----:--2--:--0------ Next is the verse. Repeat this chord progression until you get to the end of the verse where he just stays on Em7. Em7 Em7 C Bsus4 Em7 Em7 C Bsus4 :---3-:--3-:--0-:--2---:--3-:--3--:---0--:--2---- :---3-:--3-:--1-:--4---:--3-:--3--:---1--:--4---- :---0-:--0-:--0-:--2---:--0-:--0--:---0--:--2---- :---2-:--2-:--2-:--4---:--2-:--2--:---2--:--4---- :---2-:--2-:--3-:--2---:--2-:--2--:---3--:--2---- :---0-:--0-:----:--2---:--0-:--0--:------:--2---- The next part is where Weiland starts singing 'Take time with a wounded hand..' Each time when you get to the Em7 chord, make sure you strum the high D and G on the first and second strings along to the rhythm.
