PARADISE CITY - Guns N' Roses

Tabbed by: Vinny

Now you'll have to find out by yourself what rhythm do you want to play,for example
in
the intro bit you can only strum the chords once...but if you are playing by
yourself
like on an acoustic then it may not sound all that impressive...so what i do is is
play
the chords,
G C in (D D UDUDUDUD DD) each and then
F (D D) C (D D) G (D D UDUD)
adding a lil' dead notes before switching to the next chord,and i swear the rythm
changes every time I play.
So figure out the pattern you'll enjoy struming for this song!

Rhythm A :-
Rhythm for the parts before the verses and in the verses...
G5 -(DDUD) -Strike Damp Notes- F5 -(UDU) C5 -(D) A#5 -(D) x3
C5- (DUDUDDUD)
C5-A#5-G-F
Intro: Play G (Open) slide your strumming finger/pick from the low E string to the
higher e..going through one string at a time
then play G (Bare) C F C G x 2 times

Play the chorous part with the into rythem
