Artist: 3 Doors Down Song: Down Poison Album: The Better Life Tabbed and Revised By: MrFloyd (rbgoud@excite.com) This is a revision of my original version, which didn't have the solo and had lyrics written incorrectly. It's not too hard. Pretty easy, really, but a lot of fun to play. All Power Chords, I think Use Distortion
Intro: A C A E G x2 A C A E x1 0 Verse 1: 1x with no words 2x "I dreamed about this..." G C B G E x2 G C B G x1 Pre-Chorus: "Welcome to my world..."

Just hit the first note (e 16) then slide down making sure every note sounds. That's the only way I could see this solo being done. Email me if you have seen a video of the solo and can correct me. I am not sure, but I think that this could also be a tap solo. This is my best guess. Guitar 2 (During Solo): Repeat throughout solo e--------------------- B--------------------- G--------------------- D---2--2---5--7--9---- A---2--2---5--7--9---- E---0--0---3--5--7---- Bass (During Solo): G--------------------- D--------------------- A--------------------- E---0--0---3--5--7---- Chorus: "Down Poison" C A B E x7 C A B x1 Pre-Chorus: "Welcome to my world" G C B G E x3 G C B G x1 Chorus: "Down Poison" C A B E x3 C A B x1 Outro: E power chord (Might just be the 1 and 5 and not the higher octave 02xxxx, I can't quite tell). rhythm: s-e-s-s-s-s-e-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s x3 s = sixteenth note e = eighth note
