Bon Jovi
Bed of Roses
Verse 1
-------
Bb F
Sitting here wasted and wounded with this old piano.
Bb F
Trying hard to capture the moment, this morning I don't know.
Am Bb F
'cause a bottle of vodka still lies in my head and some blonde
Bb
gave me nightmares, I think that she's still in my bed.
Bb C F
As I think about movies they won't make of me when I'm dead.
Bb F
With an iron-clad fist I wake up to french-kiss the morning.
Bb F
While some marching band keeps it's own beat in my head while we're talking
Am Bb F
about all of the things I longed to believe, about love, the truth,
Bb
what you mean to me and the truth is
Bb C F
Baby you're all that I need.
CHORUS
------
Dm C Bb F
I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses.
Dm C Bb F
Tonight I sleep on a bed of nails.
Bb F Bb F
I wanna be just as close as the Holy Ghost is.
Dm C Bb F
Lay you down, on a bed of roses.
Verse 2
-------
I'm so far away, each step that I take's on my way home.
A king's ransom in dimes I'd give each night to see through this payphone.
But I'd run out of time or it's hard to get through till the bird on the wire
flies me back to you. I'll just close my eyes.
And whisper baby blind love is true.
Bb C
The hotel bars hangover whiskey's gone dry.
F
The bartender's wig's crooked, she's giving me the eye.
Bb Bb C F (rhythm fig. #1)
I might've said yes, but I laughed so hard I think I died.
Verse 3
-------
Now as you close your eyes you know I'll be thinking about you.
My mistress she calls me to stand in her spotlight again.
I won't be alone, you know that don't mean I'm not lonely.
I've got nothing to prove, for its you I'd die to defend.
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official BON JOVI tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
