Adam Miller tabbed the main riff for this song previously on this site. I had to correct it a little and put it in its entirety. This is my first tab. I hope it looks okay. I know more Jovi songs from Slippery and Jersey so if you need advice email me: highvoltage311@hotmail.com
When ever that funky guitar riff is played play D’s on the A string (5th fret) where appropriate.
Rest on the first verse.
For the second verse play:
G -------------------------------------------------------------------- D -------------------------------------------------------------------- A -----5--------5---5-------0---2-----3---------------------0---2---3- E --------------------------------------------3---3-------------------
G---------------------------------------------------------------------- D------5----5---------5---3-------------------------------------------- A-----------------------------5---5---------------0----2-------5------ E----------------------------------------------------------------------
G---------------------------------------------------------------------- D--------------------------------------------------------5---5--------- A--5---5----------3----------------------5--4---3---------------------- E-----------------------3---3-----------------------------------------
G--------------------------------------------------------------- D---5---3------------------------------------------------------- A------------5---5---------------------------------------------- E---------------------------------------------------------------
Chorus I’m not supposed to include lyrics so when he talks about being a cowboy (hope that works) play:
G---------------------------------------------------------------------- D------------------------------3--------------------------------------- A---3--------------------------------5--5------------3---------------- E---------3--3----------------------------------------------3--3------
G---------------------------------------------------------------------- D--------------3----------------------------------5---5---------------- A---3---5----------5-5---------------------3--------------------------- E----------------------------------------------------------------------
G---------------------------------------------------------------------- D---------------3------------------------------------------------------ A---3----3----------5-5------------------------------------------------ E----------------------------------------------------------------------
Now play the D’s again and get ready for the guitar solo.
Solo is similar to verse but a few changes:
G---------------------------------------------------------------------- D---------------------------------------------------------------------- A--5-------5---5---------------0---2--------3------------------------ E----------------------------------------------------3--3--------------
G-------------------------------------------------------------------- D-----------------------5--7--5--5-----------5---3------------------ A---5--4--------3-------------------------------------5---5--------- E--------------------------------------------------------------------
G---------------------------------------------------------------------- D---------------------------------------------------------------------- A---5--3---------5-------5--5-------5-5-----3---2----1---0------------- E-----------------------------------------------------------------3--3-
G---------------------------------------------------------------------- D-------------2--3--5--5------5-5-5-5----------5---3------------------ A----3--3------------------------------------------------5---5-------- E----------------------------------------------------------------------
Lyrics come back now:
G---------------------------------------------------------------------- D---------------------------3----------------------------------5--5---- A---3------------------------------5--5--------0--2---3--------------- E-----------3--3-------------------------------------------------------
Take a really short rest then:
G---------------------------------------------------------------------- D---------------------------------------------------------------------- A---5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5------------5--------5--5---------- E----------------------------------------------------------------------
G---------------------------------------------------------------------- D---------------------------------------------------------------------- A---0--2------3-----------------------------0--2------3--------------- E-----------------------3--3--------------------------------3--3------
G---------------------------------------------------------------------- D----5--3-------------------------------------------------------------- A-------------5--5--------------0---2----------5-------5--5---------- E----------------------------------------------------------------------
G---------------------------------------------------------------------- D---------------------------------------------------------------------- A---0--2------3-----------------------------0--2------3--------------- E-------------------3--3-----------------------------------3--3-------
G---------------------------------------------------------------- D-----5--3------------------------------------------------------ A-------------5---5--------------------------------------------- E----------------------------------------------------------------
New chorus and finish:
G---------------------------------------------------------------------- D--------------------------------------3-------------------------5--5- A---0--2----3---------------------------------5--5---------3----------- E------------------3--3-----------------------------------------------
G---------------------------------------------------------------------- D--------------3---------------------------------------3--------------- A---3----5----------5-5------------3---------------------------5--5-- E---------------------------------------3--3--------------------------
G---------------------------------------------------------------------- D------------5--5------------------------3----------------------------- A---3--------------------------3---5---------5-5----------------------- E----------------------------------------------------------------------
G---------------------------------------------------------------------- D-----------------------------------3--------------------------5-5-5-5- A--3---------------------3---5----------5-5------------3--------------- E---------3--3---------------------------------------------------------
G---------------------------------------------------------------------- D-------------3-----------------------------------3------------------- A---3---5----------5-5-----------------3---5-------------------------- E-----------------------------------------------------3-3------------
G---------------------------------------------------------------------- D--------------3--------------------------------------------3---------- A---3----5----------5-5---------------5-0-0-5------3--5---------------- E----------------------------------------------------------------3-3---
G-------------------------------- D-------------3----------------- A--3---5-----------5-5-------- E--------------------------------
End with some more D’s and enjoy.
