I'm tired of looking everywhere for this song, so I decided to figure it out.
It's pretty simple.

Wild Is The Wind
As performed on "New Jersey"
Written by Jon Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora, Desmond Child, and Diane Warren

Standard Tuning
h      hammer on
p      pull off
/      slide up
\      slide down
~      vibrating
PM     palm muting
b      bend
r      return


There's this opening part and I can't tell if its an acoustic guitar or a
mandolin or something else, so I will not be tabbing that part out.

This time, Richie plays this (I think Jon plays the original verse part under
him on an acoustic guitar, 2x)

Oh, yeah, on a side note, on the Metallica tabs, whoever keeps spelling James
like this, "Jaymz", stop it!  You are making an attempt to look cool, but you are
failing miserably.  It doesn't matter one bit how ghetto you are!  In doing this,
you are dishonoring one of the greatest songwriters of our time!  So cut it out!
