TRACK 1
Song:It-s my life
Artist: Bon Jovi
Written by: Bon Jovi
Album: Crush¦ 2000
The song is carried on power chords; the guitar part is the only thing I-m transcribing.
The guitaring on this song is based upon the effect of a talk-box
Intro- C5 | C5 | ~ | ~ | x2
C5 N.C
This ain-t a song for the broken hearted (repeat intro)
C5 N.C
A silent prayer for faith departed (repeat intro)
I ain-t gonna be just a face in the crowd
You-re gonna hear my voice when I shout it out loud
Chorus: -
It-s my life; it-s now or never
I ain-t gonna live forever,
I just want to live when I-m alive
It-s my life; my heart is like an open highway
Like franky said I did it my way,
I just wanna live when I-m alive
It-s my life. (repeat intro)
This is for ones who stood their ground
Like Tommy and Gina, never backed down
Tomorrow-s getting harder make no mistake
Luck ain-t even lucky got to make your own breaks
Chorus:
Solo: G#5 | Bb5 | C5 | F5 | C5 |
Bridge: -
You better stand tall when they-re calling you out
Don-t bend don-t break baby don-t back down (Repeat chorus x2 to end)
Now because I-m a lonely single guy, I’ve Tabbed the solo!

Song- Say it isn-t so
Tabbed by: Tim Bryant
Artist- Bon Jovi
Written by- Jon Bon Jovi + Richie Sambora
Album- ?Crush¦ 2000
Intro- G - D | C | x2
I just can-t believe, it was all a lie,
No man in the moon, just a big light in the sky.
I hear Disneyland, might lose Mickey Mouse
In some giant hostile corporate shake up
Tell me it-s a nightmare please wake me up
RIFF
(Say it isn-t so) (Repeat intro)
I found a book of matches, from someplace we-ve never been
How come you hang the phone up, the minute I walk in
Last night I had this dream, I was losing you
I woke up in a cold sweat shaking, rescue me my heart is breaking
Chorus 1:
Say it isn-t so (Tell me it-s not true)
Say it isn-t so (I believe in you)
Tell me it-s a lie (I don-t need no proof)
Say everything-s all right (Couldn-t be not you)
Say it isn-t so (Repeat intro)
Superman don-t fly, did it all with strings
Elvis Presley died, they deep-fried, the king
Like some tacky cheesy bathing beauty,
Dancing on the beach in a bad B movie.
RIFF
Chorus 1:
Chorus 2:
Say it isn-t so (Don-t give up on me)
Say it isn-t so (Don-t give up on you)
Get me through the night (We will make it through)
Make everything all right (From me to you)
Say it isn-t so.
Solo: G | Em | (Repeat) Riff

TRACK 3
Song- Thank you for loving me
Artist-BON JOVI
Written by- Jon Bon Jovi
Album- CRUSH 2000
Intro- Well I can-t figure out the chords, some are a bit dodgey, but I-ve tabbed the lead.
See the end of the TAB for the solo. Seeing as I’m such a nice guy I’ve tabbed the lead and outro solos.
Aren’t I a nice guy? ......Gee I am a nice Guy!!!
Verse 1:
It's hard for me to say the things
E*
I want to say sometimes
There's no one here but you and me
E*
And that broken old street light
Lock the doors
We'll leave the world outside
All I've got to give to you
Are these five words when I
Chorus:
E* A
Thank you for loving me
For being my eyes
E*
When I couldn't see
For parting my lips
When I couldn't breathe
E * A E4
Thank you for loving me
E * A E4
Thank you for loving me
Verse 2:
I never knew I had a dream
Until that dream was you
When I look into your eyes
The sky's a different blue
Cross my heart
I wear no disguise
If I tried, you'd make believe
That you believed my lies
Chorus:
Bridge:
You pick me up when I fall down
you ring the bell before they count me out
If I was drowning you would part the sea
And risk your own life to rescue me, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Solo: E* | A2 | E4 | E* (See the end for the lead solo)
Lock the doors
We'll leave the world outside
All I've got to give to you
Are these five words when I
Chorus:
Thank you, for loving me,
For being my eyes, oh
When I couldn-t see
For parting my lips, when I couldn-t breathe
Thank you, for loving me
When I couldn-t fly, oh
You gave me wings
You parted my lips, when I couldn-t breathe
Thank you, for loving me
Thank you, for loving me
Thank you, for loving me
Oh, for loving me
Outro: Repeat Intro

TRACK 4
Song- ?Two story Town¦
Artist- BON JOVI
Written by- Jon Bon Jovi
Album- ?CRUSH¦ 2000
Intro: Am | F | C | G | x2
I couldn't sleep
Took a walk down Second Avenue
Sick of dreaming dreams that never come true
One way street and I know where its leading to
There's a "For Sale" sign on the front door of the city hall
The subway line got graffiti crawling off the wall
I could take a hit but I don't want to take the fall
Who, oh. That's just one side of the story
Who, oh, oh. In this two story town
Chorus:
It's just the same old sights
And the same old sounds
I-m going to take my car and drive out of this two story town
The same old shit, is going around
I'm going down, down, down, down, down
it's a two-story town
(Repeat one line of the Intro)
There's a girl that I sleep with, got ecstasy eyes,
they promised her roses and American pies
I called her and my demons
I kissed them all goodbye
Woh, oh. Seven days of Monday morning
Woh, oh, oh. In a two story town
Chorus:
One shot to make a move now
The ghosts are calling me out
Solo: Am | F | G | C | x2 (each bar is worth 4 beats in the solo)
Well me I'm just one story
in a two story town
But you're never going to find me in the lost and found
Chorus:
Chorus 2:
It's just the same old sights and the same old sounds
I want to take my horse and ride it off this merry-go-round
I won't give in and I won't back down
I'm going down, down, down, down down
I ain't going down, down, down, down, down
Never going down, down, down, down, down
In a two-story town,
In this two story town.
Outro: (Repeat Intro to fade)
I-ve done a Tab.
The little intro piece after the ?1, 2, 1 2¦

TRACK 5
Song- ?Next 100 years¦
Artist- BON JOVI
Written by-?
Album- ?CRUSH¦ 2000
Intro- G | C | Em | x2 (I think)
Time ain't nothing but time
It's a verse with no rhyme
Man, it all comes down to you
Change ain't nothing but change
Just the faces and the names
But you know we're gonna make it through
I believe
When you don't believe in anything
Chorus:
I-m gonna hold you 'til your hurt is gone
Be the shoulder that you're leaning on
I'll be standing here
For the next 100 years
If it all should end tonight
I know it was worth the fight
We'll be standing here
For the next 100 years
I, when I think that I'm, losing my mind, It all comes back to you
You, you know that it-s true, after all we-ve been through,
There-s nothing that I wouldn-t do
Stay, by me
I would gladly give, up everything
Chorus:
I'm gonna hold you 'til your hurt is gone
Be the shoulder that you're leaning on
I'll be standing here
For the next 100 years
If it all should end tonight
I know it was worth the fight
We'll be standing here
For the next 100 years
I'm gonna hold you 'til your hurt is gone
Be the shoulder that you're leaning on
I'll be standing here
For the next 100 years
If it all should end tonight
I'll know it was worth the fight
And we'll be standing here
For the next 100 years
Outro: After a lot of ?Nah, nah, nah ,nah¦ -s there-s a huge guitar piece which I would love to
Tab for you but I just can-t. Sorry L
Enjoy! J
P.S. If I do actually crack the code of the Intro and Outro I-ll send them.
TRACK 6
Song- ?Just Older¦
Artist- Bon Jovi
Written by- Jon Bon Jovi & Richie Sambora
Album- ?CRUSH¦ 2000
Intro- D | G | A | D | x2
Hey man it-s been a while do you remember me?
When I hit these streets I was seventeen
A little wild a little green, been up and down and in between
After all these years an miles of memories,
I-m still chasing dreams, but I ain-t looking over my shoulder.
Chorus:
I like the bed I-m sleeping in, just like me it-s broken in
It-s not old, just older
Like my favourite pair of torn blue jeans,
The skin I-m in is all right with me
It-s not old, just older
It-s good to see your face you ain-t no worse for wear
Breathing that California air
When we took on the world we were young and brave
Got secrets that we-ll take to the grave
Standing here shoulder to shoulder.
Chorus:
I-m not old enough to sing the blues,
But I-ve worn a hole in the souls of these shoes
You can roll the dice until they call your bluff
But you can-t win, until you-re not afraid to you
Solo: D | G | A | D | x2 (keyboard plays)
D*
Well I look in the mirror, I don-t hate what I see
D*
Just a few more lines staring back at me
D* D*
Now the nights, have gone a little bit colder
D*
Hey man, I got to run but you take care
D*
If you see coach -T- tell him I-ve cut my hair
D*
I-ve kept my friends, but I still believe I-m Just
Huh

TRACK 7
Song- ?Mystery train¦
Artist- BON JOVI
Written by- Jon Bon Jovi + Richie Sambora
Album- ?CRUSH¦ 2000
I-m not sure if these chords are correct, I struggled through and this the best I could do.
Intro- D | A | E | G | x2
There are days when she-s a whisper,
Nights when she-s a scream,
A reason to wake up in the morning,
To close your eyes and dream.
She-ll curse you like a sailor,
She-ll wound you with her eyes,
She always makes it better She won-t apologize,
You know everything about her but don-t know her at all
CHORUS:
She-s a day ride on a mystery train
To a place, you-ve never been before.
Better hold on tight to that mystery train
We-re not in Kansas, anymore
Oh she-s a hey ride on a mystery, train.
She cries because she-s happy,
She sings songs when she-s sad
Like a stiff drink when you need it,
She-s good at being bad
And long before you knew her, you knew she was the one
Chorus:
SOLO: E | G | x2
You know everything about her but don-t know her at all
Chorus 2:
D* D*2 D* D*2
She-s a day ride on a mystery train
D* D*2 D* D*3
To a place, you-ve never been before,
I-ve waited all my life for that mystery train
We-re not in Kansas anymore
D* D*2
She-s a day ride.
D* D*3
On a mystery train, yeah, yeah
Special chords.

Song- ?Save the World¦
Artist- BON JOVI
Written by-?
Album- ?CRUSH¦ 2000
Intro- F | Dm | Am | C | x2
I never went to college I don-t have a degree
Just say I went night school, I learned all I know on the street
I wasn-t born a rich man; no I ain-t got no pedigree,
Sweat on this old collar, that-s my P.H.D.
It comes down to this I wouldn-t exist,
Without you it ain-t worth the time
I-d fight for one kiss, on a night like this
You make me feel I can fly and I-
Chorus:
I can save the world, since the night your love saved me
Baby I can save the world, but as long as you-re near me
Baby I can save the world.
I-ve got to confess, sometimes I-m a mess, and sometimes I step out of line
Like this old tattoo, I ain-t shiny or new, with you by my side nothing matters
Chorus: (on the last line add a F# to the D and Dm)
Solo: F | Dm | Bb | E7
Now they can say it-s blind love, but it-s a fool who don-t believe
I-d take the wait of the moon, just to walk in down your street
Final Chorus:
I can save the world, since the night your love saved me
Baby I can save the world, but as long as you believe,
Our love is even stronger, than God hoped it could be
Baby all it takes, is just a little faith in me, to feel like
I can save the world,
I can save, the world
Outro: B | F# | G#m | E | x4
Because I-m such a nice person, I-ve Tabbed the Intro for you all as best I can. Aren-t I nice?
E|----------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------13-----| G|---12b14?14-12-10-12b14-12-10-14----12--| ( X 2 ) D|----------------------------------------| A|----------------------------------------| E|----------------------------------------|

TRACK 9
Song- ?Captain Crash and the Beauty Queen from Mars¦
Artist- BON JOVI
Written by- Jon Bon Jovi
Album- ?CRUSH¦ 2000
Here’s a kick ass song!!!
Intro- C | F | G | x2
Dressed up, for a big date, like Halloween day but it was 4th July
Now a car crash, with a suitcase and a painted face,
She was one of a kind; she wears a plastic crown like Cinderella
And roller skates in bed
He rides a greyhound, from his hometown, when he comes around,
Because they don-t let him drive now, mixed up, as a milkshake
But make no mistake; Crash is looking like a star
Chorus:
You and me, we-re invincible, together.
We can be, oh so tragical, whatever
Dressed up just like Ziggy, but he couldn-t play guitar
Captain Crash, and the beauty Queen from Mars (Repeat one line of intro)
Share a toothpick, trading lipstick
Watch some traffic, for days in the diner
Hold hands, making big plans, playing superman
He was wearing eyeliner
Another local legend with his long time lucky charm.
Chorus:
Drunk on love as you can get, getting high on lust, and cigarettes
Living life, with no regrets, at least they-re going to try to fly
Solo: C | Em | F | G |
Final chorus:
You and me, we-re invincible, together
We can be, oh so tragical, whatever
We-re Sid and Nancy, Fred and Ginger, Clyde and Bonnie
Liz and Richard, Kurt and Courtney, Bacall and Bogie, Joltin- Joe and Ms. Monroe
here-s Captain Crash and the Beauty Queen From Mars
They-re like you and me, Captain Crash and the Beauty Queen from Mars
Outro: (Repeat Intro to fade)
TRACK 10
Song- ?She-s A mystery¦
Artist- BON JOVI
Written By-?
Album- ?CRUSH¦ 2000
Intro- F | Bb | Gm | C |
She won-t let me buy her jewellery,
She don-t want things that she can keep
She wears wildflowers in her hair, then throws them to the sea
She-s the beginning and the end of me
Chorus:
She-s, a mystery, my most beautiful regret
I will never understand her, She-s, a mystery
I still don-t know what to call her
She says that words don-t mean a thing
She changes her name everyday
And lies all the time
I feel lucky to call her mine
Chorus:
The only promise I can keep, even in my dreams she ruins me
She-s everything in the world that you cannot explain
But she throws me a smile it-s like fire in the rain
Chorus:
She-s, a mystery, there-s no defence it-s innocence
But she won-t let you see, -cause she-s, a mystery.
That-s it. Ha Ha.
Enjoy.
TRACK 11
Song- I’ve got the Girl¦
Artist- BON JOVI
Written by-?
Album- ?CRUSH¦ 2000
Intro- A | Esus4 | x2 (strum lightly)
It feels like I-m walking on air, when I walk down your street
And the neighbours stop to watch us go by you can hear them talking.
Sometimes I think that you-re the one reason, the sun still shines
When this wicked world starts bringing me down
I tell myself that I am, one, lucky guy
Chorus:
I got the girl, (holding all the cards)
I got the girl, (She-s a work of art)
I got the girl, (Who-s gonna, break my heart)
She likes to wear her stripe with her plaids,
She won-t brush her hair, I swear
She don-t like wearing shoes in December, but I don-t care
What she wears
Chorus:
If I was a holy man I-d get down on my knees
So the angels that watch over her would give a break to me
Holy mother of saint bubble gum and sister band-aid knees
Won-t you please, pray for ones like me?
Solo: Once again I can-t tell you the chords they are too well disguised. Sorry L
But the truth is some day somebody, is gonna take her away
But the queen of hearts will always a five-year-old princess to me
To me
End: Chorus x2

Intro- C | Ab| Bb | C | C | Eb | Bb | C | C
N.B. The Intro chords are played with a metal slide
It-s a, hot night and the natives are restless
We-re sweating by the light of the moon,
There-s a voodoo mojo brewing at the go, go
That could knock a witch off her broom
We slithered on in; shed our skin make our way into the Bumping grind
Passing by, she gives me the eye so I stop, to give her a light
Chorus:
One Wild Night (Blinded by the moonlight)
One Wild Night (24 hours of midnight)
One Wild Night (We stepped into the twilight zone she left
My heart with vertigo)
One wild, One Wild, One Wild, One Wild Night.
Having as, much fun as you can in clothes
Margarita had me feeling all right
It just might be, I-ll find religion I-ve been on my knees for half of the night,
Then I-m rolling bones with Jimmy no dice got to take him for a couple weeks pay,
man if you lose this roll I take your girlfriend home and I-ll stop
Not going to believe who comes walking on in
Chorus:

One wild night (Hey c-est la vie)
