Creed - "Suddenly"
From "Full Circle" Album
C# Tuning - C# F# B E G# C#, all strings tuned down 3 frets
tabbed by jjhand
I know a few people requested this in the Tab Requests. Most of this album
is in tunings around C#, so I hope you have higher gauge strings to get
good tension. I play it on my 7-string, but tabbed it fairly accurate for a
6 string. Please rate or comment on the tab, and thanks for checking out my work.
