Song: By My Side
Band: 3 Doors Down
Album: The Better Life
Tabbed By: Jonathan Kinard (chaosjdk@yahoo.com)

This is a pretty easy song to play. There are only
three chords and
a few simple riffs. I didn't figure out the guitar
solo, or the faint
riffs on guitar 2 but that's probably impossible to
tab out.
