From: rats_and_guns_n_roses@yahoo.com (Rattus the RAT) Subject: Shadow of your Love; Guns N' Roses This is an incomplete tab of this Guns N' Roses song., In my opinion this is a classic GNR tune and it's a shame that they never released it on an album (it was a b-side only). That's the kind of song that would have made a perfect 13th track on Appetite for Destruction. Anyway, I tried to find a tab to play it and I couldn't find it anywhere so i sat in the living room with my guitar and tried to figure it out. I hope it's not too bad, here are some basic riffs of the tune. "Wake up, it's time to play!". Use the "courier" font to read this tab. -Rattus the RAT (rats_and_guns_n_roses@yahoo.com) ----------------------------------------------------------------- Shadow of your Love Guns N' Roses (Axl Rose, Slash, Izzy Stradlin', Duff McKagan, Steven Adler) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Tuning: Tune half step down i guess... Like every GNR song! ********** Okay this is the opening riff ---------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------- -5-7-7-7----5-7-7-7----5-7-7-7-5-7-7-7-5-7-7-7----7-7-7-2- -5-7-7-7----5-7-7-7----5-7-7-7-5-7-7-7-5-7-7-7----7-7-7-2- -3-5-5-5----3-5-5-5----3-5-5-5-3-5-5-5-3-5-5-5----5-5-5-0- Then Slash on another guitar kicks in and play ----------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------- -7---5---7--6-5-4-3-2-------------------------- -7---5---7--6-5-4-3-2-------------------------- -5---3---5--4-3-2-1-0-------------------------- "ohhhhhhhhhh yeahhhhh!" Then this guitar also plays the opening riff. Between 0:27 and 0:30 six chords are played and i am not sure what they are. Then the main riff is still played and then this: -------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------- -2-- A few times with -----5-----7--[cool guitar sound here]-- -2-- with palm mutes then -5-----7---------------------------- -0-------------------------3-----5---------------------------- Axl Starts signing here: "Took my chances carelessly Said I choked on my own cigarette You can hand me another bottle of whiskey babe But you ain't seen nothin' yet Now I'm reckless, gonna have some fun And the woman who is dead Who was out all night, no I'm not the only one" ...
