Intro

            

Verse 1

Sweet Child in time   
you'll see the line   
The line that's drawn between
The good and the bad
See the blind man   
Shooting at the world   
Bullets flying   
taking toll   
If you've been bad,   
Lord I bet you have   
And you've not been hit   
by flying lead   
You'd better close your eyes   
and bow your head   
Wait for the ricochet
G G Am / G G Am / F F G / G G Am
(Same chord sequence repeated three times
with the infamous screams over)

Instrumental

[Verse 2] (as first)
Sweet Child in time   
you'll see the line   
The line that's drawn between
The good and the bad
See the blind man   
Shooting at the world   
Bullets flying   
taking toll   
If you've been bad,   
Lord I bet you have   
And you've not been hit   
by flying lead   
You'd better close your eyes   
and bow your head   
(and) Wait for the ricochet
G G Am / G G Am / F F G / G G Am
(Same chord sequence repeated (four times?) with the infamous screams over)
[Instrumental] - "FINALE"
(Screams and ad lib)
