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) Em | C B7 Em
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
Em C B7 Em
Forward yesterday makes me want to stay
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
G Am Em
Take time with a wounded hand, cause It likes to heal
Take time with a wounded hand, guess I like to steal
G Am C D
Take time with a wounded hand, cause it likes to heal, I like to steal***
Chorus (See Chorus Guitar Riff)
I'm half the man I used to be (yes I feel as the dawn it fades to grey)
Well I'm half the man I used to be (yes I feel as the dawn it fades to grey)
Well I'm half the man I used to be (yes I feel as the dawn it fades to grey)
Well I'm half the man I used to be, Half the man I used to be
Verse
Em C B7 Em
Feeling Uninspired, think I'll start a fire
Everybody run, Bobby's got a gun
Think you're kind'a neat, then she tells me I'm a creep
Friends don't mean a thing, guess I'll leave it up to me
Bridge
G Am Em
Take time with a wounded hand, cause It likes to heal
Take time with a wounded hand, guess I like to steal
G Am C D
Take time with a wounded hand, cause it likes to heal, I like to steal
Chorus
I'm half the man I used to be (yes I feel as the dawn it fades to grey)
Well I'm half the man I used to be (yes I feel as the dawn it fades to grey)
Well I'm half the man I used to be (yes I feel as the dawn it fades to grey)
Well I'm half the man I used to be, Half the man I used to be

Repeat 3x (After last part play Em)
**** 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')
