When I'm Gone tab by 3 Doors Down

 Song:  When I'm Gone
Artist:  3 Doors Down
Tabbed By: Aaron Nohrenberg (AaronNohren@yahoo.com)

This file is all my own work.

This is my first tab, so if its wrong I'm sorry.  I'm sure it's almost
all correct though.

There are 2 guitars in this song.  I only tabbed to lead guitar though.
The guitarist uses some kind of chorus and slight delay.

All the chords in the chorus are power chords.
Did the best I could on the struming, so try to use your ear.

h:  hammer

p:  pull-off

~:  sustain note / chord

\:  slide up

/:  slide down

x:  light upstroke
