                           "PRECIOUS DECLARATION"
                            by: Collective Soul
			    CD: Disciplined Breakdown
	I only had time to figure out the chords on this one, for now.  As soon as I have time, I'll TAB it out and post it here.  
	They play it detuned 1/2 step, so, if you want to detune, play the chords NOT in parentesis.  If you don't wnat to hassle with detuning,  just play the chord in parenthesis.
Intro (first riff):  E(Eb)(4x)
G(F#)                                         E(Eb)  
Hitched a ride to the peaceful side of town
G(F#)                                         E(Eb)
Then proceeded where thieves were no longer found
G(F#)     C(B)         
Can't crash now I've been waiting for this
G(F#)     C(B)
Won't crash now I've found some encouragement
Chorus:
G(F#)         
Precious Declaration Reads
                                    C(B)
Yours is yours and mine you leave alone now
G(F#)
Precious Declaration says
                              C(B)     
I belive all hope is dead no longer
Break: Eb(4x)
G(F#)                                  (E)Eb  
New meanings to the words I feed upon
G(F#)                                  (E)Eb  
Wake within my veins elements of freedom
G(F#)     C(B)
Can't break now I've been living for this
G(F#)     C(B)
Won't break now I'm cleansed with hopefulness
(Chorus)
Bridge:
A(G#)
Once I jumped through hoops of fire
B(Bb)
High and far as you require
A(G#)
I was blind but now I see
B(Bb)
Salvation has discovered me
E(Eb) (4x)
G(F#)  C(B)  G(F#)  C(B)
Chorus (2x)
Outro:  E(Eb) (4x)
					Have fun!!!!

to play.  The hardest part is that awesome killer riff that starts
Drums enter then guitar one starts of with the following riff:
Riff 1
|-------------------------|
|-------------------------|
|---------------------X-X-|
|-------0-------------X-X-|
|---0h1---2-0---X-2-2-X-X-|
|-0-----------3-X-0-0-X-X-|
An alternate way of playing this if your distortion tends to get 
muddy with the open strings ringing is like this:
|-------------------------|
|-------------------------|
|---------------------X-X-|
|---------------------X-X-|
|-------5-------X-2-2-X-X-|
|-0-5h6---7-5-3-X-0-0-X-X-|
Guitar one plays this riff twice on it's own and is then joined 
The verses are a combination of a muted G power chord and Riff 1
Verse:
G                                          Riff 1 (twice)
Hitched a ride to the peaceful side of town
G                                          Riff 1 (twice)   
Then proceeded..............no longer found
plus the lead (which is not tabbed).  Open chords sound best here.
The C chord is actually a Cadd9, it sounds better with the Cadd9 
you can get by with just a regular C
GCan't crash Cnow I've been waiting for this
GWon't crash Cnow I found some encouragement
power chords here 
GPrecious declaration reads yours 
is mine you leave Calone now
GPrecious declaration says I 
believe all hope is dead Cno longerD#  
which is just distorted power chords
Bridge:
AOnce I jumped through hoops of fire
BHigh and far as you required 
AI was blind but now I see
SalBvation has discovered meD
