That's all I have.  It's pretty close because when they were on "Jay Leno" 
that's what it looked like.

Precious Decleration by Collective Soul
tabbed by Michael Brooks

I tabbed this song out after recording Collective Soul
on Jay Leno,and with the help of slow motion on my VCR and
a little patience.

Well here it is as best as I could do, I hope it works.
first tune down half a step (Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb)

Legend
   G  C  D  a  B     !=Bend full
eb-3--0--5--5--7--   h=hammer
Bb-0--1--5--5--7--   p=pull
Gb-0--0--5--6--8--   (?)=harmonics
Db-0--2--5--7--9--   /-slide up
Ab-2--3--3--7--9--   \slide down
Eb-3--------5--7--   ~=vibrate 

Intro (riff 1) only on E and A strings.
Ab-----------5p0-0-------------------|
Eb---0--6h7--------3-0--0-0--(3)-(3)-|repeat 4x


The verse (Hitch a ride...) is just a G chord 
strum and let off palm mute slightly throughout.


Pre chorus alternate between G and C chords.

The Pre chorus lead is played using an Ebow which 
increases the sustain of the string, however with the 
right kind of distortion, you can get away with it.
It is all played on the Gb string.
         ~~~~~~~     3x
Gb--0--2/4------4\2\-:|--/9\7--/9\7\4| repeat full riff 2x

The chorus (Precious Decleration...) is the same as pre
chorus (G and C chords) but ends with a sudden D strummed
three times.  

The lead line over the chorus I can't quite figure out
as far as I can tell it is on the Db, Gb, and Bb strings.
Somwhere between the 12 and 14 frets. If you figure this
out E-mail me. If I do figure it out, I'll get it posted.

The Bridge (Once I jumped...) is a Barre chord A and 
a barre chord B muted. Ending with the same D as above.

The solo (from Jay Leno) is also on the Gb string.
         ~~~~~~~                    ~~~~ 
Gb--0--2/4------4\2\-|0--2/4--/9-11-9---7\4-4\2\0-|

Gb--/12--12p11h12--14-16-16h12---\-/9-7-\9-7\4\0-|

Here is the whole song.
