Guns N Roses – Rocket Queen tab ver. 2

Tune all string in a bemol tone, I mean, all strings must be tunned 1/2 tune lower than natural tone (guns always play this way).

I am very sorry ?cause this is my first tab and it?s 3am here in Caracas, but this tab will lead you in the main street of this song. From here you have to practice and figure out the complements that I can?t trancript to this sheet... Sorry I don?t know too much about making tabs.

Intro Riff 1 Main riff F#m A Em If I say I don't need anyone I can say these things to you 'cause F#m I can turn on anyone just like I've turned on you B B C#m I've got a tongue like a razor, a sweet switchblade knife And I can do you favors but then you'll do whatever I like Chorus A G#m F#m Em Here I am and you're a Rocket Queen A B Em F#m I might be a little young but Honey I ain't naive F#m Em Here I am and you're a Rocket Queen, oh yeah A B Em F#m I might be too much but honey you're a bit obscene Riff 1 Main riff I've seen everything imaginable pass before these eyes I've had everything that's tangible, honey you'd be suprised I'm a sexual innuendo in this burned out paradise If you turn me on to anything you better turn me on tonight Chorus Here I am and you're a Rocket Queen I might be a little young but Honey I ain't naive Here I am and you're a Rocket Queen, oh yeah I might be too much but honey you're a bit obscene Lead Guitar Slide solo.. Chorus Here I am and you're a Rocket Queen I might be a little young but Honey I ain't naive Here I am and you're a Rocket Queen, oh yeah I might be too much but honey you're a bit obscene Riff 2 I see you standin', standin' on your own It's such a lonely place for you, for you to be If you need a shoulder or if you need a friend I'll be here standing until the bitter end Riff 2 No one needs the sorrow, no one needs the pain I hate to see you walking out there, out in the rain So don't chastise me or think I, I mean you harm Of those that take you, leave you strung out much too far Baby yeah Lead guitar Solo.. End Riff Dont Ever leave me, say you?ll always be there I ever wanted was for you to know that I?m there.. This is a quite simple song that you?ll get it with some practice and listening the cd in order to get the rythm and stuff... Any suggestions.. franciscojavier99@hotmail.com
