"Dropped-D Tuning" (low to high DADGBE)
I have tried to TAB this piece as per the record, but at times there
are 2 guitars so I have only included the rhythm part in these cases.
I have worked out the solo (short, sweet and simple) so I'll put that
in too, but it's not perfect, but you should get the idea.
Abbreviations I have used:
h = hammer on p = pull off
b = bend (up to the next note tabbed) eg 5b7 is full bend, finger on
fret 5 r = release bend
s = slide pm = palm muting /\/\ = vibrato
clean guitar

that is the basic part of the song, there are only 2 other bits, the
first comes after the second chorus. I have not tried to indicate
timing as it is deliberately played to get out of time with the beat
so just leave it to the drummer! ;)

next comes the bridge, which is based around a three chord riff, the
basic chords are:
G2 (2 bars) Em2 (2 bars) Dsus4 (4 bars)
the following is an approximate TAB for this part, without the
strumming pattern
G2 G G2 Em2 Em Em2 D Dsus4

this whole figure goes four or five times, then goes back to the
chorus, coming in where the distortion bit starts. It ends with
figure A and then just a basic D5 power chord.
Now for the solo. This may be a bit off as I'm TABbing this from
memory at work. It starts from the second bar of the bridge.

This is probably pretty rough.
Let me know if any changes, I'd welcome comments as this is my first
time posting a TAB to olga

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official CREED tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
