AWESOME SONG!!! I love this song!! Very cool song, and that's why I tabbed it. Because I
had the "Not Enough" "Be Like That" and "Loser" tabs up before this, and so I figured, it's
kinda worthless to have 3 tabs from 3DD, and not have "Kryptonite." This is found at Quality
Tabs Inc., and I'm not normally gonna tab songs that he has, because this is kinda of an add
on B-side to his site, since he's been so busy. But this one I'm gonna do, although it's
gonna be almost identical. But, identical or not, have fun!! Oh, also, there are 2 guitars
playing in this song. I'll show you where.
CHORDS:
Bm - (x2443x)
G - (320033)
Asus2 - (x02200)
B5 - (x244xx)
G5 - (355xxx)
A5 - (577xxx)
E5 - (022xxx)
F#5 - (244xxx)

(Be sure to note the last time the notes are picked, it's a little different)
VERSE 1: (Just guitar 1, remains the picking pattern)
Bm G Asus2
Well I took a walk around the world to ease my troubled mind.
Bm G Asus2
I left my body lyin' somewhere in the sands of time.
Bm G Asus2
Well I watched the world float to the dark side of the moon.
Bm G Asus2
I feel there's nothing I can do. Yeah.
INTERLUDE: (Both guitars strum the chords now clean: Bm G Asus2 Bm G Asus2)
VERSE 2: (Play just like verse 1)
I watched the world float to the dark side of the moon.
After all I knew it had to be something to do with you.
I really don't mind what happens now and then.
As long as you'll be my friend at the end.
CHORUS: (Full-on distortion now!!)
B5 G5 A5
If I go crazy then will you still call me Superman?
B5 E5 F#5
If I'm alive and well, will you be there and holdin my hand?
B5 G5 A5 B5 E5 F#5
I'll keep you by my side with my superhuman might kryptonite
INTERLUDE: (Play just like first interlude. Both guitars strumming Bm, G, Asus2 clean)
VERSE 3: (Play just like previous verses)
You call me strong, you call me weak, but still your secrets I will keep.
You took for granted all the times I never let you down.
You stumbled in and bumped your head if not for me then you'd be dead.
I picked you up, and put you back on solid ground!
CHORUS: (Play like previous chorus)
If I go crazy, then will you still call me Superman?
If I'm alive and well, will you be there and holdin my hand?
I'll keep you by my side with my superhuman might, kryptonite.

(Be sure to note the slight difference on the last part of the solo, he slides to the 9th fret)
Everybody: Bass, and both guitars all end on B5, and let ring/fade-out. The guitars
both end on distortion. And that's it for this great awesome song! Make sure you catch
the difference at the end of the last solo. It slides up to a 9, instead of just a 7.
Okay, guys, very easy song. IT MAKES IT A LOT EASIER WHEN YOU DON'T BREAK A STRING TOO!!
I broke my D-string. But, I finished the song without it, because it's basically all the
same. If you have questions, comments, etc, email them to me at: weezer090@hotmail.com
or email me if you just wanna chat. Alright guys, thanks. LATER!
