Chords

[Verse 1]
A                 Amaj7
Appetite for destruction

  A7             B
Blowing us all away

 A              Amaj7
Poison looking so damned good

   A7                   B
I wondered if I was gay

  A                   Amaj7
Whitesnake making us bang our heads

         A7                  B
In the still of the frickin night

 A                 Amaj7
Coverdale banging Tawnie Kitane

         A7                B
And the world all felt just right
[Chorus]
E       B
1987 I never wanna leave you

          E
When you told me I was in my prime

     B
Why didn’t I believe you?

         A                E/G#         B
And the music scene will never be the same

       A         E/G#                   B        F#
But I didn’t realize that things could get this lame
[Verse 2]
 A                     Amaj7
Dokken and Lynch were young and hot

           A7             B
They were warriors in a dream

   A                       Amaj7
I couldn’t understand the Loudness dude

     A7                   B
But man that guy could scream

A                 Amaj7
Ozzy was on the Crazy Train

 A7               B
Biting heads off bats

        A               Amaj7
It was long before the Youtube Trolls

          A7               B
And this bullshit snappy chats
[Chorus]
E            B
1987, you’re always gonna be the best

       E
Like Fresh Columbian cocaine

      B
Off a 19 year old breast

         A                    E/G#        B
And the kids these days will never understand

             A        E/G#
What’s it’s like to play an instrument

     B       F#
And be in a band
[Solo] | G#m | E | 4x [Bridge]
  E
Growing out our hair

 C#m7
Gettin high with girls

           Bsus4
Cranking Scorpions and Priest

Asus2
Everyone in leather

       E
There never was a doubt

   C#m7
In any of our minds that pretty soon

Bsus4
 Dave and Eddie

      Asus2
Were getting back together
[Chorus]
E            B
1987, where did we go astray?

       E
Back then the friends we had were real

        B
And we saw em every day

     A               E/G#              B               F#
And no one once got canceled for the things that they say

E            B
1987 will forever be the year

      E
When guys wore more lipstick than girls

     B
And no one seemed to care

         A             E/G#                B
And the music that we worshipped will live on

     A              E/G#        B          F#
Even after all our heavy metal heroes are gone
