Play this to backup the solo and right before the solo starts, there is some
changing in the order of the chords near the end, but I'm too lazy to figure
it out, I know, I should have, but I tabbed two lengthy songs today, so I'm
pooped. Sorry. Play this 3x.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-2--4--5--7--9--10------------------------------------------------------------
-0--2--3--5--7--8-------------------------------------------------------------
Solo:
I can't really get the solo, but I gave it my best shot. Sorry guys.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-b9-9---------------10--12-10-------------------------------------------------
-b8---14-----9-11-------------12-11-9-7-9-------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Then play the bridge part which sounds like the verse, then switch back to the
regular verse. Then do the chorus over and over. Finally end on that cool
intro riff.
I don't feel like this is one of my better tabbed out songs, so please email
me with comments and suggestions.
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official 3 DOORS DOWN tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
