Epiphany
Performed By: Staind
From the Album: "Break The Cycle"
Lyrics & Music Written By: Aaron Lewis
Notes:
- With four versions of this song in the archive,
you would think that at least one of them would
be completely correct. None of them are.
Some are extemely close, but none are 100%.
- I decided to have a go at this incredibly simple,
yet beautiful song off of "Break the Cycle".
I have added everything that I possibly could have
to make this tab 100%. With a song this simple,
I fail to see why other people did not bother to
put some time and effort into their tabbing of this.
- As stated by users in the comments of other tabs
of this song, the tuning IS what I have tabbed out.
This is because during the strumming of each "chord",
the b and high e strings are played open. Why others
failed to notice this is beyond me; as I noticed it
the first time I listened to the song.
- I appreciate any comments on this. However,
if you're going to attempt to argue with me
"I have the tab book and this is wrong", etc.,
don't even bother commenting. You're just wasting
my time, as well as your own.
- Finally, some familiarity with this song is
obviously necessary.
ENJOY!

tab sounds good. thats all that matters aye.
but... don't claim to have it 100%... coz i've seen the book and this is not it.
cheers mate!
"Sounds 100%", "is 100%", same thing. :P Perhaps I should've made it more clear then, huh? Anyway, I suppose I can still gloat and say I have the best tab of this on the site. Thanks for voting, mate!
DUDE...thanx so much
I love this song, and all the other attempts at the song are just way off...but yours is right on.
...I appreciate it
