tune this down a step (one note) down to a low D you can play power chords
with one finger instead of the origional 2-3 finger hold.

Okay... this is (hopefully) the final corrections. This is THE correct
transcription. I had another guy help me work out the kinks and we came up
with this, which sounds a hundred times better than the last. 
Any questions, comments, critiques, complaints, or corrections are welcome!

PS - if you haven't seen Creed in concert, I HIGHLY recommend you go! They
put on one kick ass show!!
