"Link" -- Collective Soul
from the album "Disciplined Breakdown"

|This is my first attempt at actually writing down my version of a song 
|so it may not be exact but it should be enough to get you started.

Tuning is down 1/2 step
 
This part is played over the verses and behind the solo. You'll have to 
listen to the song The to get the feel but it's pretty easy.

  D       A       C       G

Verse

D        A        C          G          D       A       C        G
I'm sleeping      sleeping to encompass myself
D        A        C          G          D        A       C        G
I wake up         Wake up then distribute what's left

Chorus
F                 C
      And with my anger well diffused
Am                G
      The link to love I now may choose
F                 C
      And with my heart no more abused
Am                G 
      The link of love I now may use
F                 C

I wake up         wake up then relinquish what's left

Chorus
F                 C

D7
I was caught by your lies spinning
F
Then was saved by truth
C
Now
G
All's quiet now

Solo
D  A  C  G  (x6)   (You can do pretty much anything here that sounds good 
                    to you as far as a solo goes, sounds to me like 
                    Ross played both guitars in the solo on 
                    the album, listen to that to get an idea of 
                    what to do.)

Chorus
F                 C
      And with my anger well diffused
Am                G
      The link to love I now may choose
F                 C
      And with my heart no more abused
Am                G
      The link to love I now may use
F                 C
      And with my anger well diffused
Am                G
      The link to love I now may choose
F                 C
      And with my heart no more abused
Am                G
      The link to love I now may use
F                 C
Heyyyyyyyyyyyy
Am                G
      The link to love I now may choose
F                 C              D7
      The link to love I now may use
