Chords

Sweet Child O Mine with the electric guitar riffs that sounds spot on for acoustic. Sounds better with 2 guitars one for the main finger picking and the other for backing chords [Intro]

[Verse] D She's got smile that it seems to me Cadd9 reminds me of childhood memories, G D Where everything was as fresh as the bright blue sky D Now and then When I see her face Cadd9 she takes me away to that special place, G and if I stared too long, D I'd probably break down and cry [Chorus]

      Woah (A),           woah, woah (C),             sweet child o' mine (D)

[Verse 2] D She's got eyes of the bluest skies, Cadd9 as if they thought of rain G I hate to look into those eyes D and see anounce of pain D Her hair reminds me of a warm safe place Cadd9 where as a child I'd hide, G And pray for the thunder and the rain D to quietly pass me by [Chorus]
