Words and music by W. Axl Rose, Slash, Izzy Stradlin', Duff McKagan and Steven Adler I haven't heard this song in a while so the solo may be slightly inaccurate, other than that I'm pretty sure of the rest of it. Tune 1/2 step down to match the recorded version on Lies. You'll have to listen to the song to get it right cause the timing here isn't really anything like the way it's played, I just wanted to avoid confusing anyone by putting the numbers too close together. Intro: The chords over this intro part are: C - G - A - D C - G - C - Em C - G - D - D e|----------------10------------------------------------------------------------ B|--------8-10/12----12\10-8-10--12-13-14-15-12---------------------12h13-14---- G|-5p4-5----------------------------------------14bh-12--14p12-14~~-12h13-14---- D|------------------------------------------------------------------------------ A|------------------------------------------------------------------------------ E|------------------------------------------------------------------------------ e|----10----8-----7-----5\3-----3----------------------------------------------- B|-/7----/5----/5----5-------3-------------------------------------------------- G|------------------------------------------------------------------------------ D|------------------------------------------------------------------------------ A|------------------------------------------------------------------------------ E|------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Verse: the chords in the verse are just C - G - A - D played twice. The D is played normal then the little fill of Dsus4-Dmaj-Dsus2-D is played, which is just: e|--3--2--0--2----- B|--3--3--3--3----- G|--2--2--2--2----- D|--0--0--0--0----- A|----------------- E|----------------- Chorus: The chorus is just C - G - A - D C - G - D (followed by the same fill as in the verses) The second time you play this in the chorus you play the little D fill twice and if memory serves me correctly you play the following lead fill aswell. e|-----10-----------14---------------------------------------------------------- B|-/7----------/10-------------------------------------------------------------- G|------------------------------------------------------------------------------ D|------------------------------------------------------------------------------ A|------------------------------------------------------------------------------ E|------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Guitar Solo: I hope this is pretty close, this is what I play with my friends and stuff and it sounds pretty right. I can't really remember the chords over the solo, but I think they are C - G - C - Em (exactly like the chorus, but I don't know if you play that 1 or 2 times, I'm sure you'll be able to tell once you listen to the song) you end it with the little D riff played 4 times, I think. If you can't get it then email me, or ask a friend. e|--8p7-8--8/10-8----------------8p7-8-8/10-8-10/12--8p7-8--8/10-8-------------- B|-----------------/10--8-8--8--------------------------------------/10--8-8-8-- G|------------------------------------------------------------------------------ D|------------------------------------------------------------------------------ A|------------------------------------------------------------------------------ E|------------------------------------------------------------------------------ e|-/12-10-10-10---/14-12-10-10--------0-3---------------------------------0-3--- B|--------------------------------4bh------4bh-0-3------0-3-----------4bh------- G|---------------------------------------------------2bh------2bh-0------------- D|------------------------------------------------------------------------------ A|------------------------------------------------------------------------------ E|------------------------------------------------------------------------------ e|----------5bwp3-5bh-----|--3-5^3------3-5|5^-r-3-5---3-5^-|--3-5---3-5-3-7-| B|-4bh-0-3----------------|5--------5------|---------5------|------5---------| G|------------------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| D|------------------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| A|------------------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| E|------------------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| There is a little bit more of the solo, but I can't remember how it's played on the cd, I play it differently, so I won't put it here, if you want to play the end of the solo just remember to stick to the A natural minor/C major scale or the pentatonics, ther's only like one bar left anyway. (thats what i updated, it matches up) Outro: The outro is just D - G played over and over with the singing, there's and outro solo too I think, but I never bothered figuring it out, you can just improvise with the G major scale. (here it is, and it was dead easy) |-3-0-------------|--3--| |-----3-----------|--3--| |-------0---------|--0--| |---------0-------|--0--| |-----------2-----|--2--| |-------------3---|--3--|
