Rocket Queen de Guns N Roses

Rocket Queen - Guns N Roses sur Guitariff.net
			 
		   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
G 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
