Bon Jovi - Bed Of Roses
=======================
transcribed by Gary Chapman
Key:
---
^ = hammer/pull
/ = slide
(b)n = bend to fret n
~ = vibrato
\/ = push whammy to lower note a semitone, then release (done quickly)
() = implied notes - optional
Note: This was transcribed from the MTV "plugged" version so it may be
different from the recorded version. I've done the intro and the
solo, but none of the fills during the verses. Some of the lyrics
may be a bit wrong too. Anyway...
