It doesn't make a difference if we make it or not.

Tommy's got his six string in hock,
now he's holding in, what he used to make it talk

When she cries in the night, Tommy whispers:
Baby it's O.K., some day.

We've got to hold on ....

Hi, this is my version of Bon Jovis 'Livin' on a prayer'. It is the version from the Club-Gigs 1992 and the same which was played in Europe on the 'Keep the faith' tour. Much better version for acoustic guitar, but if you add the guitar-riff you can play it with a band too.
Use capo on 3rd fret. The original is with em - C - D  (without capo), but much harder to sing.

Enjoy.
