1987 chords by Steel Panther

• Difficulty: Intermediate 💪

Key: E

🤘 Verse 1:
A                 Amaj7
Appetite for destruction
  A7             B
Blowing us all away
 A              Amaj7
Poison looking so damned good



   A7                   B
I wondered if I was gay
  A                   Amaj7
Whitesnake making us bang our heads
         A7                  B
In the still of the frickin night
 A                 Amaj7
Coverdale banging Tawnie Kitane
         A7                B
And the world all felt just right

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


🤘 Verse 2:
 A                     Amaj7
Dokken and Lynch were young and hot
           A7             B
They were warriors in a dream
   A                       Amaj7
I couldn’t understand the Loudness dude
     A7                   B
But man that guy could scream
A                 Amaj7
Ozzy was on the Crazy Train
 A7               B
Biting heads off bats
        A               Amaj7
It was long before the Youtube Trolls
          A7               B
And this bullshit snappy chats


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


🤘 Solo:
 G#m  | E  : 4x


🤘 Bridge:
  E
Growing out our hair
 C#m7
Gettin high with girls
           Bsus4
Cranking Scorpions and Priest
Asus2
Everyone in leather
       E
There never was a doubt
   C#m7
In any of our minds that pretty soon
Bsus4
 Dave and Eddie
      Asus2
Were getting back together


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