You Could Be Mine
Guns N' Roses 
Use your illusion II 

 F#m- 
 F#m--Em--F#m-Em-

        F# 
I'm a cold heartbreaker 
Fit ta burn and I'll rip your heart in two 
        E                       F#-B5- 
An I'll leave you lyin' on the bed 
        F# 
I'll be out the door before ya wake 
It's nuthin' new ta you 
        E 
'Cause I think we've seen that movie, 
    F#-B5-

CHORUS: 

                 A    B         F# 
(OH woh) 'Cause you could be mine 
          A     B        F#m- 
But you're way out of line 
            A 
With your bitch slap rappin' 
           B 
And your cocaine tongue 
         F#m 
You get nuthin' done 
        A    B 
I said you could be mine 



F#----E--F#-- 

Now holidays come and then they go 
It's nothin' new today 
Collect another memory 
When I come home late at night 
Don't ask me where I've been 
Just count your stars 
I'm home again 

'Cause you could be mine 
But you're way out of line 
With your bitch slap rappin' 
And your cocaine tongue 
You get nuthin' done 
I said you could be mine 


F#--E--;(6X) 

G               F#m     G         A 
You've gone sketchin' too many times 
     G     F#m      G         A 
Ooh, Why don't ya give it a rest 
G-F#m-G             B-A-G 
  Why Must you find

B 
While you're breakin' down my back n' 
     Db 
I been rackin' out my brain 
          D 
It don't matter how we make it 
                               D, Db 
'Cause it always ends the same 
  B 
You can push it for more mileage 
          Db 
But your flaps r' wearin' thin 
           D 
And I could sleep on it 'til mornin' 
                            D, Db 
But this nightmare never ends 
B 
Don't forget to call my lawyers 

        Db 
With ridiculous demands 
               D 
An you can take the pity so far 
                                D, Db 
But it's more than I can stand 
            B 
'Cause this couchtrip's gettin' older 
         Db 
Tell me how long has it been 
       D-- 
'Cause 5 years is forever 
An you haven't grown up yet 

 

 
You could be mine 
But you're way out of line 
With your bitch slap rappin' 
And your cocaine tongue 
You get nuthin' done 
I said you could be mine 


 A      B 
You should be 
 A      B       F# 
You could be mine 
 B5            F# 
You could be mine (7X)

You could be mi---ne

  |------Lick 1----------------|        |------Lick 2----------------| 



from now on play lick 1 with 1/2 bend. 


Note: when playing the bends make sure that you bend both notes. 

repeat lick 1 twice    repeat lick 2 twice 
repeat lick 1 twice    repeat lick 2 once 

|-----3--| 
|-----3--| 
|--2-----|

Now we have about 4 measures of powerchords ect. 
Listen to the song to see how the timing goes(That goes for this whole work)
