Beautiful tab by Creed

Song Name: Beautiful
Artist: Creed
Album: Human Clay

"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

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
e----------|-------|---------|------|---------|----------------------
B----------|-------|---------|------|---------|----------------------

A--5---5---|--5----|-2---2---|--2---|-5---5---|------3 bars----------
D--5---5---|--5----|-2---2---|--2---|-0---0---|----------------------

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
