/ 3 Doors Down / The Better Life (2000) / Kryptonite guitar tab

Author/Artist: 3 Doors Down
Title: Kryptonite
Album: the Better Life

This song is pretty simple to play and fun too..

During the verse, feel free to improvise a bit, dont stick
to exactly what is written, keep it loose..add an extra note here
and there....

On the palm muted section of the solo, its a bit easier
to use downstrokes instead of alternating strokes..
I know I have some mistakes, and I couldnt put everything on
here....There just isnt enough room....But its pretty accurate.

Good Luck and enjoy...!
