C                                Am

When I look into your eyes
                              G

I can see a love restrained
C                         Am

But darlin' when I hold you
                                         G

Don't you know I feel the same
Am                             D
'Cause nothin' lasts forever
                                                G

And we both know hearts can change
Am                              D

And it's hard to hold a candle
                                   G

In the cold November rain
C                                             Am
We've been through this such a long long time
                               G

Just tryin' to kill the pain,  oh yeah
       C
But lovers always come and lovers always go
     Am                                                    G

An no one's really sure who's lettin' go today
Walking away
C
If we could take the time to lay it on the line
Am                                                                    G

I could rest my head just knowin' that you were mine
All mine
Am                      D

So if you want to love me
                              G

then darlin' don't refrain
Am                       D

Or I'll just end up walkin'
                                   G

In the cold November rain
              C                                    D
Do you need some time...on your own
              C                             D

Do you need some time...all alone
                   C                                      D

Everybody needs some time... on their own
                                  C                             D

Don't you know you need some time...all alone
Guitar solo
Bm             C                      G

I know it's hard to keep an open heart
Bm              C                          Am

When even friends seem out to harm you
Bm            C                G

But if you could heal a broken heart
Bm           C                    D

Wouldn't time be out to charm you
C  D  C  D...
Sometimes I need some time...on my own
Sometimes I need some time...all alone
Everybody needs some time... on their own
Don't you know you need some time...all alone
C  Am  G...
And when your fears subside

And shadows still remains, oh yeah

I know that you can love me
When there's no one left to blame
Am  D  G...

So never mind the darkness
We still can find a way
'Cause nothin' lasts forever
Even cold November rain
Gm                               D
Don't ya think that you need somebody
C                                 Bb

Don't ya think that you need someone
D#              F

Everybody needs somebody
G

You're not the only one...  (4x)
(I think it is easier if you play this last part with bar chords)

I've seen it all a million times
G  C  F  C  G...
Take me down to the paradise city   (2x)

Take me down to the paradise city
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Take me home
Take me down to the paradise city
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Oh won't you please take me home
Take me down, lead me 'round
Oh won't you please take me home
I wanna see, what a woman can be
I want to take you home
Take me down to the paradise city
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Oh won't you please take me home
I wanna go, I wanna know
Oh won't you please take me home.

Guitar chords for beginners: "Sweet Child O' Mine" by Guns N' Roses - chord illustrations

D

She's got a smile that it seems to me
C

Reminds me of childhood memories
                  G

Where everything was as fresh as the bright blue sky

D 

Now and then when I see her face
C

She takes me away to that special place
             G                                                                   D

And if I stare too long, I'd probably break down and cry

A                        C                      D

Whoa, oh, oh, sweet child o' mine
A                              C                    D

Whoa, oh, oh, oh, sweet love of mine

D  C  G  D

She's got eyes of the bluest skies
As if they thought of rain
I'd hate to look into those eyes and see an ounce of pain

D  C  G  D

Her hair reminds me of a warm, safe place
Where as a child I'd hide
And pray for the thunder and the rain to quietly pass me by

A  C  D...

Whoa, oh, oh, sweet child o' mine
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, sweet love of mine

Whoa, oh, oh, oh, sweet child o' mine
Oh, oh, oh, oh, sweet love of mine

Whoa, oh, oh, oh, sweet child o' mine
Ooh, sweet love of mine

Em                         G                        A

Where do we go? Where do we go now?
                       C     D

Where do we go?

Em                         G

Where do we go? Where do we go now?
A                               C  D

Oh, where do we go now?

Em                         G

Where do we go? (Sweet child)
A                           C    D

Where do we go now?
Em                                  G                A

Ooh, where do we go?  Sweet child,

A                                         C             D

Where do we go now  now now now now now now now
Em       G                  A C  D     Em

Sweet child, sweet chi.......ld o' mine.
