PARADISE CITY - Guns N' Roses Tabbed by: Vinny Email : allapologies85@yahoo.co.in This is how this songs is played or rather can be played over an accoustic, the other chords versions of this song don't really allow you to play the song with the power and energy with which this song can be played on an accoustic or at leat thats what i think, i mean check out the unplugged of Nirvana or Pearl Jam...they do keep the energy of the songs with them even without distortion... 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 G (Open) Take me down to the paradise city
