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
Have fun!!!! Joel PRECIOUS DECLARATION by Collective Soul
Tabbed by Fish a.k.a. Perry Ghioureliotis
To start off, if you want to play along with the CD, you have to tune your guitar down half a step. It's not a very difficult song to play. The hardest part is that awesome killer riff that starts off the song and occurs at different places throughout. Well here it is, enjoy!
Drums enter then guitar one starts of with the following riff:
Guitar one plays this riff twice on it's own and is then joined by guitar 2 and played twice more. After that the first verse begins.
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
The prechourus has a couple of clean or slightly distorted guitars 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
Prechourus:
Can't crash now I've been waiting for this
Won't crash now I found some encouragement
In the chourus, the guitars become distorted again. More power chords here
Chourus:
Precious declaration reads yours
is mine you leave alone now
Precious declaration says I
believe all hope is dead no longer
The only other part different from the above parts is the bridge which is just distorted power chords
Bridge:
Once I jumped through hoops of fire
High and far as you required
I was blind but now I see
Salvation has discovered me
The rest of the song is just repeats of the above sections. Listen to the song, they are to figure out. I've been working on the leads a little. If any one has sugestions for them maybe you could post them or add them to this file.
