============================

Band: Three Doors Down

Song: Smack

Tabbed by: Mike Loveless

Standard Tuning (EADGBE)

This song is awesome!

Intro:

E-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

B-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

G-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

          D--4--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
          A--2-2-5-7--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
          E----0-3-5--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thats the chords for it but listen to the song to get the timing and count right.

Guitar 2 also plays just the B5 and the E5 with a wah pedal, but the timing is difficult to explain

Verse:

E-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

B-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

G-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

          D---4---7-------4-4-3-3-------------------------------------------------------------------
          A---2---5---7-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
          E-0---0---0-5-0----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Again, thats basically how it goes, but listen to the song to get it right.

The 4-4-3-3 part is played with a wah pedal on Guitar 2

Chorus:

E-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

B-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

G-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

          D-2-2-2--5-5-5--2-2-2-5-5-5/----------------------------------------------------------------
          A-2-2-2--3-3-5--2-2-2-5-5-5/---------------------------------------------------------------
          E-0-0-0--3-3-3--0-0-0-3-3-3/---------------------------------------------------------------

"Dont you ever compromise it, don't you even realize it?"

That's basically how it goes, but listen to it to get the feel for how it goes

Theres is also this little interlude that I havent got around to figuring out yet,

but it seems like you just play some of the basic power chords from the verse.
