Interpreted by D. Ramm (dramm9@excite.com)

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) e | C B7 e

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
Fgorward yesterGday B7makes me want to gstay
What they said was real, makes me want to steal
Living under house, yes I'm living I'm a mouse
All I got is time, got no meaning just a rhyme

Bridge
CTake time with a gwounded hand, gcause It likes to heal
Take time with a wounded hand, guess I like to steal
CTake time with a gwounded hand, Gcause it likes tCo heal, I like to steal***

Verse

Repeat 3x (After last part play e)

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')
