This is a rather simplified acoustic version of Collective Soul's "Shine" that can
be played on solo acoustic guitar. I realize the Pre-chorus isn't perfect, but it
works for the way this song is tabbed. If anyone has any simple ideas for a
correct version of the Pre-chorus, they would be welcome.

Here's what I figured out works well even on an acoustic for the prechorus: REPEAT 2x e|-------------------------------|-------------------------------| B|-------------------------------|-------------------------------| G|-2---2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-4-----|-2---2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-4---5-| D|-0---0-0-3-0-0-3-0-0-3-0-5-----|-0---0-0-3-0-0-3-0-0-3-0-5---6-| A|-0---0-0-3-0-0-3-0-0-3-0-5-----|-0---0-0-3-0-0-3-0-0-3-0-5---6-| E|-------------------------------|-------------------------------| This isn't too difficult to play and allows you to mute the high strings for a good bass-y sound.

In the verse there is no G until the second "will I find." So, it's D throughout until the first "will I find," C. and then the second "will I find," G. It sounds much better this way.

Good
