Subject: TAB: world i know by collective soul


World I know-
by Collective Soul
off the self-titled album


tabbed by:
	Scott, the guitar freak   (scottf@scs.unr.edu)
 -and-	Chad Hanley		  (chanle51@maine.main.edu)

**NOTE: in the verses, use barre chords.. in the chorus, use the open 
fingerings... that's how it sounded when i heard it.. i'll also give you 
a more powerful-sounding chorus...

***NOTE: if no symphony is available for your rendition, keyboards work 
nicely... :)


VERSE I

D	A	Bm
	Has our conscience shown?
	Has the sweet breeze blown?
	Has all the kindness gone?
	Hope still lingers on.
	I drink myself of newfound pity
	Sitting alone in New York City.
	And I don't know why.

Verse II

D	A	Bm
	Are we listening?
	Hymns of offering
	Have we eyes to see
	That love is gathering?
	
	A
	All the words that I've been reading
	Have now started the act of bleeding
	
	G
	Into one....Into one.

CHORUS

D		       A
	So I walk upon high
			  G
	And I step to the edge
			D
	To see my world below.
		         A	
	And I laugh at myself
			     C
	While the tears roll down.
				G
	'Cause it's the world I know.
			 D
	It's the world I know.

VERSE III (look at end of Verse I)

I drink myself of newfound pity
Sittin alone in New York City.
And I don't know why.
Don't know why.

CHORUS (check out the first chorus)
So I walk upon high
And I step to the edge
to see my world below.
And I laugh at myself
While the tears roll down.
'Cause it's the world I know.
It's the world I know.
Yeah, I walk upon high
And I step to the edge
To see my world below
And I laugh at myself
While the tears roll down.
'Cause it's the world I know.
It's the world I know.

at the end when the symphony kicks in, Childress (i think) is 
arpeggiating a D, and throwing in the 4th sometimes (Dsus4)

and the song ends on a Dsus4...

(i've only heard the song twice on MTV, and at the time i didn't have my 
guitar.. i had to get home and play from memory... )
