Here are tabs for the two main riffs in "Simple," from Collective
Soul's latest album.  They are real close, but not quite perfect.
If anyone has some suggestions and/or corrections, please post!

First riff:


                                                                      
 E |-----------------------------------------------
 B |-----------------------------------------------
 G |-----------------------------------(second time)
 D |--2---2---------------------2----------(5)-----
 A |--2---2---7-p-0---2-h-5-p-2---0-0-h-2-h-5------
 E |--0---0----------------------------------------

this is what i've figured out for the opening riffs for simple and it
sounds pretty darn close

E|------------------------------------------------------
B|------------------------------------------------------
G|------------------------------------------------------
D|------------------------------------------------------
A|---------7--------5--0--7--0-----------5--------------
E|---0--0-----5--7--------------0--5--7-----------------

2nd time play D|--5-- at the end instead of A|--5--
