🤘 Verse 1:
A augmentedA         Amaj7Amaj7
Appetite for destruction
 A7A7       BB
Blowing us all away
 A augmentedA       Amaj7Amaj7
Poison looking so damned good


  A7A7          BB
I wondered if I was gay
 A augmentedA          Amaj7Amaj7
Whitesnake making us bang our heads
     A7A7         BB
In the still of the frickin night
 A augmentedA         Amaj7Amaj7
Coverdale banging Tawnie Kitane
     A7A7        BB
And the world all felt just right

🤘 Chorus:
E MajorE    BB
1987 I never wanna leave you
     E MajorE
When you told me I was in my prime
   BB
Why didn’t I believe you?
     A augmentedA        E/G#     BB
And the music scene will never be the same
    A augmentedA     E/G#          BB    F#F#
But I didn’t realize that things could get this lame


🤘 Verse 2:
 A augmentedA           Amaj7Amaj7
Dokken and Lynch were young and hot
      A7A7       BB
They were warriors in a dream
  A augmentedA            Amaj7Amaj7
I couldn’t understand the Loudness dude
   A7A7          BB
But man that guy could scream
A augmentedA         Amaj7Amaj7
Ozzy was on the Crazy Train
 A7A7        BB
Biting heads off bats
    A augmentedA        Amaj7Amaj7
It was long before the Youtube Trolls
     A7A7        BB
And this bullshit snappy chats

🤘 Chorus:
E MajorE      BB
1987, you’re always gonna be the best
    E MajorE
Like Fresh Columbian cocaine
   BB
Off a 19 year old breast
     A augmentedA          E/G#    BB
And the kids these days will never understand
       A augmentedA    E/G#
What’s it’s like to play an instrument
   BB    F#F#
And be in a band


🤘 Solo:
 G# minorG#m | E MajorE : 4x


🤘 Bridge:
 E MajorE
Growing out our hair
 C#m7C#m7
Gettin high with girls
      Bsus4Bsus4
Cranking Scorpions and Priest
Asus2Asus2
Everyone in leather
    E MajorE
There never was a doubt
  C#m7C#m7
In any of our minds that pretty soon
Bsus4Bsus4
 Dave and Eddie
   Asus2Asus2
Were getting back together


🤘 Chorus:
E MajorE      BB
1987, where did we go astray?
    E MajorE
Back then the friends we had were real
    BB
And we saw em every day
   A augmentedA        E/G#       BB        F#F#
And no one once got canceled for the things that they say
E MajorE      BB
1987 will forever be the year
   E MajorE
When guys wore more lipstick than girls
   BB
And no one seemed to care
     A augmentedA       E/G#        BB
And the music that we worshipped will live on
   A augmentedA       E/G#    BB     F#F#
Even after all our heavy metal heroes are gone
