Author/Artist: Creed Title: Who's Got My Back? Album: Weathered Tuning: Drop D Transcribed by: Philip Ströller & Adam Strachn Email: PStroeller@gmx.de & Creedoholic@hotmail.com Philip and I both worked on this GREAT song. Notes: Intro/Verse - There is a weird effect going on here. Delay or reverb? Pre-Chorus/Chorus - Octave chords. Listen to song to get it right! Interlude - clean but palm mute it! Bridge - palm mute the open chords. Other - Just follow the song.
