THE WORLD I KNOW Collective Soul

[D] [A]Has our [G]conscience shown?[A]

Has the sweet breeze blown?

Has all the kindness gone?

Hope still lingers on.

I drink myself of newfound pity

Sitting alone in New York City.

And I don't know why.

Verse II

[D] [A]Are we l[G]istening?[A]

Hymns of offering

Have we eyes to see

That love is gathering?

[A]All the words that I've been reading

Have now started the act of bleeding

[G]Into one....Into one.

CHORUS

[D] So I walk upon [A]high

And I step to the [G]edge

To see my world [D]below.

And I laugh at my[A]self

While the tears roll [C]down.

'Cause it's the world I [G]know.

It's the world I [D]know.

VERSE III (look at end of Verse I)

I drink myself of newfound pity

Sittin alone in New York City.

And I don't know why.

Don't know why.

CHORUS (check out the first chorus)

So I walk upon high

And I step to the edge

to see my world below.

And I laugh at myself

While the tears roll down.

'Cause it's the world I know.

It's the world I know.

Yeah, I walk upon high

And I step to the edge

To see my world below

And I laugh at myself

While the tears roll down.

'Cause it's the world I know.

It's the world I know.

at the end when the symphony kicks in, Childress (i think) is

arpeggiating a D, and throwing in the 4th sometimes (Dsus4)

and the song ends on a Dsus4...

(i've only heard the song twice on MTV, and at the time i didn't have my

guitar.. i had to get home and play from memory... )

The World I Know

Probably written by Ed Roland (sweet beard!)

Well I definitely think this song is overplayed, but I have found a new

respect for Collective Soul after I figured out the opening riff to this

song. I think it is a great progression. I borrowed the lyrics from World

I Know tablulation by Scott the guitar freak and Chad Hanley. I don't

think their opening is accurate, it actually starts with a Bm progression

like this...

2x02 formation gets the 1 count and the 2 and 3 count goes to 3x04.

Justin Kunz

Transcribed by Nate Kohl

This is a slightly different version than the others I have seen posted -

it is in a different key, but capo should take care of that. It sounds

better than plain chords.

Intro -

E-|--0----0---0---0--
B-|--8----3---5---7--
G-|--0----0---0---0--
D-|--9----4---5---7--
A-|--7----2---3---5--
E-|--0---------------

Play the above with "Has our consience shown...Has the sweet breeze blown..."

When you reach "I drink myself of newfound pity..." change to a D - C

progression, then jump back into the above pattern for the second verse.

Chorus -

	G - D - C - G   "So I walk up on high..."
	G - D - F - C - G   "And I laugh at myself...as the tears roll down.."
The ending is G - D - C - D, but is instrumental so it needs more than

just chords...

And that is it! The only tricky thing is getting the strumming right and

adding as many notes to synthesize a string quartet as possible. For the

tabbed struming above, it is easiest just to use the same finger

positions, and slide down and up the frets.

World I know------

Collective Soul

This is a real pretty tune I figured out sitting on the john and playing

my guitar during one those really good bowel movements.

8<------------cut-here---------------------8<----------------------

Okay this is the definite riff that makes this tune so beautiful.

I know you guys don't want to hear the transcriber speak so Ill cut

it short. I dont see the way I play it posted, so heres what I have:

[Bm] [D/F#] [G]

e|-----x-x-x-x-x---x-x----x-x---x-x-x-x-x-x-x----x-x---|
b|-----0-0-0-0-0---0-0----0-0---0-0-0-0-0-0-0----0-0---| ..and repeat
g|----/7-7-7-7-7---7-7----2-2---2-2/4-4-4-4-4----4-4---|  til' chorus.
d|-----0-0-0-0-0---0-0----0-0---0-0-0-0-0-0-0----0-0---|
a|-----x-x-x-x-x---x-x----x-x---x-x-x-x-x-x-x----x-x---|
E|----/7-7-7-7-7---7-7----2-2---2-2/3-3-3-3-3----3-3---|

Cool. Now Download "world_i_know.crd" and you'll be set for chorus and

so on.
