Down Poison chords by 3 Doors Down

Guitar chords with lyrics

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

On the last run.  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.

Repeat throughout solo

s-e-s-s-s-s-e-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s    x3
