Tabbed by Eliyahu for Ultimate-Guitar.com

Hey fellow guitarists, I tabbed you all a song, "Breathe" by Collective Soul.  This is 
of my favorite songs, and the existing version tabbed is missing

a few notes in the verse and lacks the bridge, solo, and outro.
I tabbed the whole song to the best of my ability, even the solo.  This solo is a great 
and totally worth learning.  It's not that hard, but sounds

pretty cool, so whatever, go ahead.
Now, a few places were questionable as in what the guitarist actually played, because of 
vocals and drumming so I had to take a guess at it.  I know

the bridge is probably off, but I tried.  Also, in the end of the solo, the crazy bends 
the 15th fret are not really in any order, I couldn't get the

exact one because it sounds like theres 2 guitars playing that section, but what I have 
and sounds good.
There are a few places I will put *s under the tab or something, there will be a few 
 There is no tempo, I broke it into sections and have how many

times that section is played to the right of the section.  Pretty self-explanatory.
