Creed - A Thousand Faces
From the "Full Circle" Album
Tabbed by jjhand, with some use of tab by brandon(KETE)
Tuning - Drop B (B F# B E G# C#)
 
I fixed the line lengths, so hopefully this will be acceptable.
The solo is included below, and its a tough one. I can hear the
notes but its hard to play well, so good luck! Please rate/comment.
