From muri@po-box.mcgill.ca Sun May 4 10:44:36 1997 "Forgiveness" by Collective Soul as heard on the album "DISCIPLINED BREAKDOWN" Words written by Ed Roland and music by Collective Soul *****the tone of the instrument which comes in after the intro is so weird-and cool! I can't tell if it's a guitar or an organ.(it said in the liner notes that a guy played organ for one song) In any case I arranged it for guitar.******* */*/*/* NOTE */*/*/* When **** is next to a chord it means that there are 4 muted 16th note slashes using the G-chord Starting on the 4th beat. Example: 1 2 3 4 e a u / / / / INTRO Guitar 2 (or organ) fades-in on last beat of intro riff 1 E---------------------------------------------------------- B---------------------------------------------------------- G-9---11-12-8---11-8-9----------------------------------9-- D--------------------------10-12-----9-10------------------ A---------------------------------10----------------------- E---------------------------------------------------------- Verse In my silence I would love to forget But restitution hasn't come quite yet And with one accord I keep moving forth I stretch my heart to heal some more Chorus It used to be all I wanted to learn **** Was wisdom trust and truth But now all I really want to learn Is forgiveness for you then guitar 2( or organ) comes in again with almost the same thing as riff 1 riff 2 ( pitiful attempt at repeat sign ) play what's in 1st box once, repeat it and then play the second box E--------------------------------------------------l------- B----------------------------------------------.---l------- G-----9---11-12-8-----11-8-9--------------12-------l---9--- D------------------------------10-12-----------.---l------- A-----------------------------------------10-------l------- E--------------------------------------------------l------- *(Not sure about octave before repeat)* Verse As my seasons change I've now grown to know When one's heart creates, one's soul doesn't owe So I wash away stains of yesterday Then tempt my heart with love's display (Play Chorus again) Guitar interlude (couldn't quite call this a solo!) It sounds approximately right to me (again, there's that famous repeat sign) E---------------------------------------------------------------------l B---13-13----12-12----10-10-8-8-8-8----13-13----12-12----10-10------.-l G---12-12----12-12----12-12-9-9-9-9----12-12----12-12----12-12---12---l D----------------------------------------------------------------12-.-l A---------------------------------------------------------------------l E---------------------------------------------------------------------l *listen for the muted slashes between each chord* DRUM BEAT (4 Bars) ...I think so?

This truly is a great song. But I was disappointed that, like the other songs on "Disciplined Breakdown", there are no real solos. Ross Childress is an extremely talented guitarist, Why don't they let him solo? It would make the great tunes even better. P.S - Comments, Questions, improvements; welcome and appreciated!
