Collective Soul - Simple

Simple

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----------------------------------------


Second riff:

 E |--2-------------------------------------------x--x-
 B |--2-------------------------------------------x--x-
 G |--0-----2-------------------------------2-----x--x-
 D |--0-----2-------------------------------2--2--x--x-
 A |--2-----0----------7-p-5-p-0------------0--2--x--x-
 E |--3------------0-0-----------3bb-p-0-0-----0--x--x-


Tablature explanation
---------------------
    B      Full Bend
    b      1/2  Bend
    bb     1/4  Bend
    h      Hammer-on
    p      Pull-off
    x      left-hand muted "scratch" strum



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--
