Artist: Collective Soul
Song: Heavy

   Really cool riff in this song. You have to tune down one note
   (half-step) to play along to the CD. Enjoy!
   
   
   CHORDS:
   
       
   G5 (355xxx)    C5   (x355xx)
   D5 (x577xx)    E7#9 (x7678x)
   A5 (577xxx)
   
   
   
   MAIN-RIFF:
   E|-----------------------------------|
   B|-----------------------------------|  h = hammer-on
   G|-----------------------------------|  p = pull-off
   D|-----------------------------------|  x = muted note
   A|----------5p0---------------0h1p0--|
   E|--0-0-0-0-----0-0-0-0-0h3h5--------|
   
   When you play this MAIN-RIFF you should always
   play the low E string palm-muted.
   
   
   INTRO:

   [play this tab palm-muted]
   E|------------------------|

   VERSE 1:
   
   G5                                    [MAIN-RIFF x2]
   Complicate this world you wrapped for me

   G5                             [MAIN-RIFF x2]
   I'm acquainted with your suffering
   
   
   [In the chorus, when I write G5 you play this
    little G-RIFF:]
      G5
   E|---------|
   B|---------|
   G|---------|

   CHORUS:
   
   D5             A5                 C5
     And all your weight it falls on me

                G5 [with G-RIFF]
   It brings me down

   D5             A5                 C5              G [with G-RIFF]
     And all your weight it falls on me, it falls on me

   E|--0-0-0-0-----0-0--|
   
   
   VERSE 2: [play like verse 1]
   
   Hold me up to all whom you deceived
   Promises you break, you still believe
   
   
   PLAY CHORUS TWICE
   
   
   GUITAR-SOLO Comes In:
   
   Can't figure out the solo. But here's what the rhythm guitar is playing
   during the solo:
   
     RIFF X:
   E|-----------------------------------|
   B|--------------------------8-8-8-8--|
   G|--------------------------7-7-7-7--|
   D|-----------------------------------|
   A|------7---7-----7-x-7--------------|
   E|--0-0---0---0-0-------0------------|
   
   
   First play RIFF X 4 times.
   
   Then play G5 and then RIFF X once.
   and again play G5 and then RIFF X once.
   
   
   CHORUS: [play like previous choruses]
   
   And all your weight it falls on me
   It brings me down
   And all your weight it falls on me, it falls on me

   E|-------------------|
   B|-------------------|
