Creed - "Suddenly"
From "Full Circle" Album
C# Tuning (Low to High: C# F# B E G# C#)
tabbed by jjhand
 
I know a few people requested this in the Tab Requests. Most of this album
is in tunings similar to this C# tuning (1.5 steps lower than standard), so
I hope you have higher gauge strings to get good tension. I played it on my
7-string to verify the melody, but the tab is fairly accurate for a 6 string.
Please rate or comment on the tab, and thanks for checking out my work.

The majority of this album is in Drop B isnt it? Released when Creed got back together around 2014 by which time Scott Stapp had lost the high register in his voice hence the low tuning on pretty much every song on the album! In my opinion probably there best album for what its worth!

In the beginning of chorus part, I dont agree with it being It sounds better just being a straight up power chord -
