TAB by: Robb Anagnostis
The existing TABs are close but some miss the timing, others leave out notes.
The TAB by Douglas French from 1995 (which this tab is greatly based on) is
very good but misses the very important chromatic bass line through the verses
(only 3 notes...but important). Others that have the bass line show a really
wierd fingering for it. Try this one out. It's really pretty easy. Check out
measure #5 where the chromatic bass notes all stay on the A string.

Can you tell a green field, from a cold steel rail? A smile from a veil?

Do you think you can tell? Did they get you to trade, your heroes for ghosts?

Hot ashes for trees? Hot air for a cool breeze? Cold comfort for change

And did you exchange, a walk-on part in the war, for a lead role in a cage...

*release the bend slowly while you hit the string
several times so that the last note is played at
the end of the first riff
play the riff a 2nd time
verse: (guitar stops, drum, bass and organ go on)
We ended up at the Grand Hotel
It was empty, cold and bare
But with the Rolling truck stones thing just outside
Making our music there
With a few red lights and a few old beds
We make a place to sweat
No matter what we get out of this
I know, I know we'll never forget
(guitar same as the first verse)
Chorus

but in the electric,
i think it sounds fresh)
lyrics
sometimes i feel
like i dont have a partner
sometimes i feel
like my only friend
is the city i live in
the city of angels
lonely as i am
together we cry
i drive on her streets
cuz shes my companion
i walk through her hills
cuz she knows who i am
she sees my good deeds
and she kisses me windy
i never worry
now that is a lie
i dont ever want to feel
like i did that day
take me to the place i love
take me all the way
i dont ever want to feel
like i did that day
take me to the place i love
take me all the waaaaaaaaaaaay
its hard to believe
that theres nobody out there
its hard to believe
that am all alone
at least i have her love
the city she loves me
lonely as i am
together we cry
i dont ever want to feel
like i did that day
take me to the place i love
take me all that way
i dont ever want to feel
like i did that day
take me to the place i love
take me all the waaaaaaaaaaaay
under the bridge downtown
is where i drew some blood
under the bridge downtown
i could not get enough
under the bridge downtown
forgot about my love
under the bridge downtown
i gave my life awaaaaaaaaaaay
enjoy...
/////transcriber\\\\\
I include my rendition of Slash's first solo in this transcription. I
think it's fairly accurate. I play a variation of the first solo because
people recognize it, but the second solo I improvise; and I don't feel like
figuring it out since Slash always plays something different in concert anyway.
Key: H - hammer-on
/ - slide
P - pull-off
^ - half bend
^^ - full bend
~ - vibrato
(ACK! Did we decide on a standard somewhere for ASCII tab notation. Could
someone send me a copy of the article since I apparently missed it.)
This is the picking at the very beginning of the song. The picking varies
throughout, and you should do whatever feels best instead of trying to
restrict yourself to how it sounds on record. GN'R is constantly mutating
this song in concert anyway (even doing it with a reggae beat).

Song goes like this:
Intro:
Twice with picking G5 D C
Twice just power chords G5 D C
Verse 1 (with picking)
G5 D Am
Mamma take this badge from me
G5 D C
I can't use it anymore
G5 D Am
It's getting dark, too dark to see
G5 D C
Feels like I'm knockin' on heaven's door
Chorus (if you're really concerned about playing it like the
CD, listen to it for rhythm. But this song has been done by so
many people so differently that you might as well give it your own
feel.)
G5 D5 C5
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door,

Additional lyrics:
Mama, put my guns in the ground
I can't shoot them anymore
That cold black cloud is comin' down
Feels like I'm knockin' on heaven's door
Basically there are lots of "knockin' on heaven's door"s throughout the rest
This is one of GUNS N' ROSES best song if you ask me.
I saw that no one had tabbed the second solo so I did as
well as the rest of the song. If you have any questions,
Comments, additions, or Corrections feel free to e-mail
them to me.
P.S. Tune your guitar down half a step.
