Acoustic Guitar Tab Of The Day - Sweet Child O' Mine

There is nothing better for beginners than to hear a classic song is amazingly simple to play and Sweet Child O' Mine By Guns N Roses is one such song.

The song should pose very few problems with a little practice as the song contains nothing but the basic chords.

D
She's got a smile that it seems to me
C
Reminds me of childhood memories
G
Where everything
D
Was as fresh as a bright blue sky
D
Now and then when I see her face
C
She takes me away to that special place
G
And if I stared to long
D
I'd probably break down and cry

C G D
Whoa Oh, Sweet child o' mine
C G D
Whoa, Oh, Oh, Oh Sweet love o' mine

C G D

D
She's got eyes of the bluest skies
C
As if they thought of rain
G
I hate to look into those eyes
D
And see an ounce of pain
D
Her hair reminds me of a warm safe place
C
Where as a child I'd hide
G
And pray for the thunder

And the rain
D
To quietly pass me by


C G D
Whoa Oh, Sweet child o' mine
C G D
Whoa, Oh, Oh, Oh Sweet love o' mine

Acoustic Guitar Tab Of The Day - Last Christmas

With Christmas fast approaching I thought it would be a good idea to put a few tabs on the blog for Christmas songs hence this tab of Last Christmas.

Originally by Wham the song has been played by a host of bands including The Manic Street Preachers, Jimmy Eat World and Busted. Here is then the tab for Last Christmas by George Michael.

G
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
Em
But the very next day, You gave it away
Am
This year, to save me from tears
D
I'll give it to someone special

G
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
Em
But the very next day, You gave it away
Am
This year, to save me from tears
D
I'll give it to someone special

G
Once bitten and twice shy
Em
I keep my distance but you still catch my eye
Am
Tell me baby do you recognize me?
D
Well it's been a year, it doesn't surprise me

G *note above G
(Happy Christmas!) I wrapped it up and sent it
Em
With a note saying "I Love You" I meant it
Am
Now I know what a fool I've been
D
But if you kissed me now I know you'd fool me again

Chorus

G
A crowded room, friends with tired eyes
Em
I'm hiding from you and your soul of ice
Am
My God I thought you were someone to rely on
D
Me? I guess I was a shoulder to cry on
G
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
Em Am
A man undercover but you tore me apart
D
Now I've found a real love you'll never fool me again

Chorus

Hope you enjoy playing this easy to learn Christmas Classic. Enjoy!!!

Acoustic Tab - Merry Christmas Everybody

G Bm D

Are you hanging up a stocking on your wall?
It's the time that every Santa has a ball

C G
Does he ride a red nosed reindeer?
Does he turn up on his sleigh

Am C D
Do the fairies keep him sober for a day?

G D
So here it is merry Christmas

Bb D
Everybody's having fun

G D
Look to the future now

Bb D
It's only just begun

Are you waiting for the family to arrive?
Are you sure you got the room to spare inside?
Does your granny always tell ya
that the old songs are the best?
Then she's up and rock 'n' rollin' with the rest


So here it is merry Christmas
Everybody's having fun
Look to the future now
It's only just begun

Dm Bb
What will your daddy do

Dm Bb
When he sees your Mama kissin' Santa Claus?

C--D
(ah) ah ah

Are you hanging up a stocking on your wall?
Are you hoping that the snow will start to fall?
Do you ride on down the hillside
in a buggy you have made?
When you land upon your head then you've been Slade

So here it is merry Christmas
Everybody's having fun
Look to the future now
It's only just begun
