0PARADISE CITY - Guns N' RosesTabbed by: VinnyNow you'll have to find out by yourself what rhythm do you want to play, for example inthe intro bit you can only strum the chords once...but if you are playing by yourselflike on an acoustic then it may not sound all that impressive...so what I do is playthe chords, G C in (D D UDUDUDUD DD) each and then F (D D) C (D D) G (D D UDUD) adding lil' dead notes before switching to the next chord, and I swear the rythmchanges every time I play.So figure out the pattern you'll enjoy strumming 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) Bb5 -(D) x3C5- (DUDUDDUD)C5-Bb5-G-FIntro: Play G (Open) slide your strumming finger/pick from the low E string to thehigher e..going through one string at a timethen play G (Barre) C F C G x2Play the chorus part with the into rhythm[Chorus]G (Open)Take me down to the paradise city CWhere the grass is green CAnd the girls are prettyF C G (Open)Oh, won't you please take me homeG (Barre)Take me down to the paradise city CWhere the grass is greenAnd the girls are prettyF C GOh, won't you please take me homePlay: (Since no singing is required here you can strum the chords once) v ^ v ^ v ^ v ^ v v ve|-3---X-X-X-0---X-X-X-1-0-3|B|-0---X-X-X-1---X-X-X-1-1-0|G|-0---X-X-X-0---X-X-X-2-0-0| x2D|-0---------2---------3-2-0|A|-2---------3---------3-3-2|E|-3-----------------------3|Play the whole thing twice, then play the power chords part i.e. Rhythm A.[Verse]G5 F5 C5Just an urchin livin' under the streetBb5 G5 F5 C5 Bb5I'm a hard case that's tough to beat G5I'm your charity case F5 C5 Bb5So buy me somethin' to eatG5 F5 C5 (Strum a bit on C5 with frequent damping)I'll pay you at another timeC5 Bb5 G5-F5Take it to the end of the line(Play Rhythm A)G5Rags to richesF5 C5Or so they say Bb5You gottaG5 F5 C5 Bb5Keep pushin' for the fortune and fameG5You know it's, it's all a gambleF5 C5 Bb5When it's just a gameG5 F5 C5 (Strum a bit on C5 with frequent damping)You treat it like a capitol crimeC5 Bb5 G5 F5Everybody' doin' their time[Chorus]G (Open)Take me down to the paradise city CWhere the grass is greenCAnd the girls are prettyF C G (Open)Oh, won't you please take me homeG (Barre)Take me down to the paradise city CWhere the grass is green CAnd the girls are prettyF C GOh, won't you please take me home(Play Rhythm A)G5 F5 C5 Bb5Strapped in the chair of the city's gas chamberG5 F5 C5 Bb5Why I'm here, I can't quite rememberG5 F5 C5 Bb5The surgeon general says it's hazardous to breatheG5I'd have another cigaretteF5 C5 (Strum a bit on C5 with frequent damping)But I can't seeC5 Bb5 G5 F5Tell me who you're gonna believe[Chorus]G (Open)Take me down to the paradise city CWhere the grass is greenCAnd the girls are prettyF C G (Open)Oh, won't you please take me homeG (Barre)Take me down to the paradise city CWhere the grass is green CAnd the girls are prettyF C GOh, won't you please take me home[Bridge] D5 C5So far away D5 C5So far away D5 C5So far away D5 C5 Bb5So far away-ay[Verse]G5 F5 C5Captain America's been torn apartBb5 G5Now he's a court jesterF5 C5 Bb5With a broken heartG5He said turn me around F5 C5 Bb5And take me back to the start G5 F5I must be losing my mind C5 (Strum a bit on C5 with frequent damping)"Are you blind?!"
