Band:  3 Doors Down
Song:  My World
Album:  Seventeen Days

Standard Tuning

Hello all, this is by far the BEST song on the album
Seventeen Days, 3 Doors Down third successful album.
The other version for this song is really off so I want
people to know how to really play the song.  
By the way anything in a bracket is a harmonic.
For those who don’t know a harmonic is played
by holding a finger lightly over the top of the string(s)
on the denoted fret to get the harmonic sound.  When
holding your finger over the string do not depress any
strings!  Good luck!
