This is the first song I’ve tabbed for OLGA so please, bear with me. Any comments, questions or corrections would greatly be appreciated. So E-Mail me if you want to!

the tone of the instrument which comes in after the intro is so weird-and cool! I can’t tell if it’s a guitar or an organ.(it said in the liner notes that a guy played organ for one song) In any case I arranged it for guitar.

/// NOTE /// When is next to a chord it means
that there are 4 muted 16th note slashes
using the G-chord Starting on the 4th beat.
Example: 1 2 3 4 e a u
[/][/][/][/]
INTRO

Guitar 2 (or organ) fades-in on last beat of intro

riff 1


E----------------------------------------------------------
B----------------------------------------------------------
G-9---11-12-8---11-8-9----------------------------------9--
D--------------------------10-12-----9-10------------------
A---------------------------------10-----------------------
E----------------------------------------------------------

Verse

In my silence I would love to forget

But restitution hasn’t come quite yet

And with one accord I keep moving forth

I stretch my heart to heal some more

Chorus

It used to be all I wanted to learn

G
Was wisdom trust and truth

But now all I really want to learn

Is forgiveness for you

then guitar 2( or organ) comes in again with almost the same thing as riff 1

riff 2
( pitiful attempt at repeat sign )
play what’s in 1st box once, repeat it and then play the second box


E--------------------------------------------------l-------
B----------------------------------------------.---l-------
G-----9---11-12-8-----11-8-9--------------12-------l---9---
D------------------------------10-12-----------.---l-------
A-----------------------------------------10-------l-------
E--------------------------------------------------l-------

(Not sure about octave
before repeat)

Verse

As my seasons change I’ve now grown to know

When one’s heart creates, one’s soul doesn't owe

So I wash away stains of yesterday

Then tempt my heart with love’s display

(Play Chorus again)

Guitar interlude (couldn’t quite call this a solo!)
It sounds approximately right to me

(again, there’s that
famous repeat sign)


E---------------------------------------------------------------------l
B---13-13----12-12----10-10-8-8-8-8----13-13----12-12----10-10------.-l
G---12-12----12-12----12-12-9-9-9-9----12-12----12-12----12-12---12---l
D----------------------------------------------------------------12-.-l
A---------------------------------------------------------------------l
E---------------------------------------------------------------------l

listen for the muted
slashes between each chord

DRUM BEAT (4 Bars)

…I think so?

Finger-pick all this part (Oh,come on! You must get the idea by now!)


E------7--------------------7-------------------7---------------3------l
B------8--------------------8-------------------8---------------3--.---l
G---------------------------------------------------------------4------l
D---------------------------------------------------------------5--.---l
A--------------------------------------3------------------------5------l
E---3----------------3------------------------------------------3------l

play last chord very gently

Chorus w/acoustic guitar (no break with muting)

Rest of band kicks-in still with chorus (break with muting)

Play chorus chords (no vocals or break w/ muting) 3 times

Well, I did as good as I could…

This truly is a great song. But I was disappointed that, like the other songs on “Disciplined Breakdown”, there are no real solos. Ross Childress is an extremely talented guitarist, Why don’t they let him solo? It would make the great tunes even better.

P.S – Comments, Questions, improvements; welcome and appreciated!

If you want to learn Collective Soul Forgiveness guitar chords, The 5 chords we’ll look at are the C major, A major, G major, E major, and D major.
The reason we use all major chords is that the minor versions of any of these chords just require tiny adjustments.
Each one of those minor chords is completely based on its major counterpart

The more you practice, the easier guitar will feel to play Forgiveness. Guitar is hard to learn in the beginning, but gets easier the longer you stick with it.
