This riff is basically played throughout the whole song,
and then the solo below comes in around 2 minutes through.
Obviously you're gonna have to work out the strumming from this

Here's the solo which basically just uses the A Pentatonic scale,
so it's not too hard

Scott: (from creed)
It's been a long day at the bottom of the hill,
She died of a broken heart.
She told me I was living in the past,
Drinking from a broken glass.
Chorus: (Maynard and Scott)
I'm alone [I never wanna be alone],
Now I [now I] try to face the cold.
I'm alone [I never wanna be alone],
Now I [now I] try to travel home.
Scott:
I walked down to the other end of the day,
Just to catch those last few rays.
I held out my hand and slowly waved goodbye,
I turned now my eyes up to the sky.
Chorus
(Both)
She'll come back to me. [She'll come back to me.]
She'll come back to me. [She'll come back to me.]
All alone in this mysery.
She'll come back to me.
Maynard:
I held out my hands into the light and I watched it die,
I know that I was part to play.
My god, my time to die.
Never want to spend my life alone.

for the D/F# chord, play the 2 on the fat E string with your thumb, it's a hell
of a lot easier. those chords are basically played throughout the whole of the
song, and there's a solo that I haven't worked out, but it's not the hardest to
get a rough idea I don't think. for the solo, just try working around the A
pentatonic and should give you the basics of it.
