Text File
Band: Collective Soul
Song: Heavy
Album: Dosage
Year: 1999
tabbed by: Alex Greg Larson AKA dudemanwhoathe1
Honestly, all these incorrect versions of this song are
really starting to get me mad, so I decided to tab it out myself.
So here is my almost 100% perfect tab of Heavy, the only
part I'm unsure about is the guitar I for the chorus.
So yeah, enjoy this extremely amazing song, cuz its fun to play.

-guitar II & III continue playing this riff while guitar I does the wah
solo. Sorry I dont have a wah, I have no experience with that, so I can't
tab it out, I will over time so when I do I will update this tab.

Lyrics
======================================================
(verse 1)
Complicate this world you wrapped for me
Im acquainted with your suffering
(chorus)
And all your weight, it falls on me
It brings me down
And all your weight, it falls on me
It falls on me
Hold me up to those whom you decieved
Promises you break, you still believe
(chorus) x3
And all your weight, it falls on me
It brings me down
And all your weight, it falls on me
It falls on me
==========================================================================
==========================================================================
And now you have seen the tabs for Heavy
Please, go play it and enjoy yourself because this song is
pretty extreme, the riff is very complex for beginners but
once you get it down its a synch and still fun.
