Ramm ([email protected]) I've seen other tab interpretations of this song and I'm a bit perturbed at what seems to be some very tone deaf people out there. Not to say I am anywhere near perfect in my interpretation but this seems to work just fine playing in a jam session. Creep by Stone Temple Pilots (Chords plus some tabs) Opening C B7(Open E) Em | C B7 Em E:--x-- E:--2-- B:--x-- B:--x-- G:--2-- G:--2-- D:--1-- D:--1-- A:--2-- A:--2-- E:--x-- E:--x-- * Alternate the B7(Open E) and the B7 in the verse ** When playing Em in the bridge, you can alternate the chord by holding Bstring (3rd Fret) and HIgh E string (3rd fret)back and forth *** I am well aware the last line of the bridge has a variance on the C to D. I found this the easiest way to play it however. [Verse] Em C B7 Em Forward yesterday makes me want to stay Em C B7 Em What they said was real, makes me want to steal Em C B7 Em Living under house, yes I'm living I'm a mouse Em C B7 Em All I got is time, got no meaning just a rhyme [Bridge] G Am Em Take time with a wounded hand, cause It likes to heal G Am Em Take time with a wounded hand, guess I like to steal G Am C D Take time with a wounded hand, cause it likes to heal, I like to steal*** [Chorus] (See Chorus Guitar Riff) A B I'm half the man I used to be (yes I feel as the dawn it fades to grey) A B Well I'm half the man I used to be (yes I feel as the dawn it fades to grey) A B Well I'm half the man I used to be (yes I feel as the dawn it fades to grey) A B Well I'm half the man I used to be, Half the man I used to be [Verse] Em C B7 Em Feeling Uninspired, think I'll start a fire Em C B7 Em Everybody run, Bobby's got a gun Em C B7 Em Think you're kind'a neat, then she tells me I'm a creep Em C B7 Em Friends don't mean a thing, guess I'll leave it up to me [Bridge] G Am Em Take time with a wounded hand, cause It likes to heal G Am Em Take time with a wounded hand, guess I like to steal G Am C D Take time with a wounded hand, cause it likes to heal, I like to steal [Chorus] A B I'm half the man I used to be (yes I feel as the dawn it fades to grey) A B Well I'm half the man I used to be (yes I feel as the dawn it fades to grey) A B Well I'm half the man I used to be (yes I feel as the dawn it fades to grey) A B Well I'm half the man I used to be, Half the man I used to be [Break] /// /// /// /// Em Em Em Em(Hold) Yeeaahh (There is some small fingering/pluckin parts amongst the Em's,figure em out yourself) [Bridge] G Am Em Take time with a wounded hand, cause It likes to heal G Am Em Take time with a wounded hand, guess I like to steal G Am C D Take time with a wounded hand, cause it likes to heal, I like to steal [End Chorus] A B I'm half the man I used to be (yes I feel as the dawn it fades to grey) A B Well I'm half the man I used to be (yes I feel as the dawn it fades to grey) A B Well I'm half the man I used to be (yes I feel as the dawn it fades to grey) A B Well I'm half the man I used to be, Half the man I used to be A B (fading) Half the man I used to be [Chorus Guitar Riff] (A) (B) \**** I'm half the man I used to be yes I feel as the dawn it fades to grey E|--------------------------------|------------------------------| B|--------------------------------|------------------------------| G|--------------------------------|------------------------------|x2 D|----0-------0-------0---------2-|----0-------0-------0---------| A|--2-------2-------2-----0-1-2---|--2-------2-------2-----0-1-2-| E|0-----0-2-----2-3-----3---------|0-----0-2-----2-3-----3-------| Repeat 3x (After last part play Em) **** Vocal Note: The chorus is actually two vocal tracks overlaid on the album. For the purpose of clarity I will call them (a) & (b) Chorus (b) continues while Chorus (a) and the Guitar Riff breaks in immediately after singing 'fades' in Chorus (b) If sung solo, you must truncate (cut-off) the last part of Chorus (b)..(ie 'to grey')
