Don't Cry tab by Guns N' Roses

Tabs (Ver. 3)

Tuning: Half-Step Down (D#D# G#G# C#C# F#F# A#A# D#D#)

Album: UYI 1 & 2
Transcribed by: slashjunior
It is quite a complex song with two guitars, you can play just guitar 1 parts
in the chorus and verse then play the solo but it won't sound as good.
I have used the key:
(1) - Guitar 1 (Izzy)
(2) - Guitar 2 (Slash)
Tuning - Drop 1/2 a step

      A minorAm      DmDm       G+G       Csus2Csus2 G/BG/B
