Bon Jovi - My Guitar Lies 1 Tabs

My guitar lies bleeding in my arms
(J.B.Jovi & R.Sambora)

from the Bon Jovi album 'These Days' 1995

Use Capo on 3rd fret. If it is to high to sing, just play without capo.
Note that the part before solo is recorded with guitars tuned down, so that
what you play can't sound like that doubled, lowerd sound on disc. If I have
time I will try the intro and solo's too,....


Intro em  G  em  G

Verse 1
em                         G
Misery likes company, I like the way that sounds
em                                               G
I've been trying to find the meaning, so I can write it down
em                               G
Staring out the window, it's such a long way down
em                             G
I'd like to jump, but I'm afraid to hit the ground

Chorus
D                 C                   am         em
I can't write a love song the way I feel today
D                 C                   am         em
I can't sing no song of hope, I got nothing to say
D                 C                   am          em
Life is feeling kind of strange, since you went away
D                 C                       B
I sing this song to you wherever you are
   C                 D             em (D  C  bm  A9  G  G(F#) not before solo)
As my guitar lies bleeding in my arms

Verse 2
I'm tired of watching TV, it makes me want to scream
Outside the world is burning, man it's so hard to believe
Each day you know you're dying from the cradle to the grave
I get so numb sometimes, that I can't feel the paine

Chorus
I can't write a love song the way I feel today
I can't sing no song of hope, I've got nothing to say
Life is feeling kind of strange, it's strange enough these days
I send this song to you whoever you are
As my guitar lies bleeding in my arms

Solo A  E  D  B  (7x) A E A E |  C  D  em (4x)  | D  C  bm  A9  G  G(F#)

Verse 3
Staring at the paper, I don't know what to write
I'll have my last cigarette-well, turn out the lights
Maybe tomorrow I'll feel a different way
But here in my delusion, I don't know what to say

Chorus
I can't write a love song the way I feel today
I can't sing no song of hope, I've got nothing to say
And I can't fight the feelings that are burning in my veins
I send this song to you wherever you are
As my guitar lies bleeding

Chorus
I can't write a love song the way I feel today
I can't sing no song of hope, there's no one left to save
And I can't fight the feelings buried in my brains
I send this song to you wherever you are
As my guitar lies bleeding in my arms
As my guitar lies bleeding in my arms
As my guitar lies bleeding in my arms

C  D  em (5x) D  C  bm  A9  G  G(F#) em


special chords  A9      x02200  G(F#)     2x0003
