different parts.  I usually play Dean's part.

Intro: Clean

Artist: Collective Soul
Song: Precious Declaration
Well, it is kind of sad that everyone seems to
tab this wrong. A few have come very close, however.

Legend: / = slide up to         + = Let ring
         = slide down to       b = bend string
        r = release bend        * = palm mute
        h = hammer on           p = pull off
        X = scratch             ~ = vibrato
Intro:

(Guitar 2 comes in 3rd time)
Verse:
Both Guitars:
(Mute the strings totally, until last few chords)

D|-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-|
A|-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-|
E|-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-|
(Hitched a ride to the...)
(Main riff)
-The whole verse is played twice-
Pre-Chorus:

(I cant crash now...)
Chorus:
Guitar 1:
(The strumming pattern isnt included, but
 its so easy to understand anyways)

(Precious Declaration says...)
Guitar 2:
(This is totally random with these 4 notes,
 but basically follow this riff)

(This is also played very fast, so hammer on and pull off
 when possible)
(Back to verse)
(Back to chorus)
Interlude:
Guitar 1:
(Once again the strumming pattern is not stated)

(Think for about 3 seconds and you'll recognize
 how and when this is played)
(Main riff, cut back by one note)
Bridge:
(Guitar 1 plays Pre-Chorus)

(Listen so you know when to play and when NOT to...)
(Chorus)
(Verse)
And thats all. Joel plays the Pre-Chorus with only a one-note
difference than what Ross used to, just in case you were wondering.
Road map:
-Intro
-Verse
-Chorus
-Verse
-Chorus
-Interlude
(Easy space for a drum solo here)
-Bridge
-Chorus
-Outro (Same as intro)
Enjoy.
Tuning: Drop d with half step (Db,Ab,Db,Gb,Bb,eb)
I owe the solo to this tab, but you have everything else, maybe in a future I'll add
the solo.

I'm not really sure about guitar 2 in the chorus, but anyway I think this can
work, and if you have any correction or anything to add, you're more than
welcome to do it.

Hey     why can't you hear
Hey     why can't you listen
As      love screams everywhere
Guitar1 plays Riff 1  x 4
Guitar2 plays natural harmonics w/ muting
                                        B5
                                        You crucify all honesty
                                        No signs you see do you believe
                                               D5
                                        And all you words just twist and turn
                                        Reviving just to crash and burn
                                        B5
                                        You're fighting till the bitter end
                                                                     D5
                                        If only your heart could open up
                                        And listen

Hey     why can't you listen
