TRACK 1

Song:It-s my life

Artist: Bon Jovi

Written by: Bon Jovi

Album: CrushÂ¦ 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-  |  | ~ | ~ | x2

 N.

This ain-t a song for the broken hearted (repeat intro)

 N.

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:  |  |  |  |  |

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, Iâve Tabbed the solo!

TRACK 2

Song- Say it isn-t so

Tabbed by: Tim Bryant

Artist- Bon Jovi

Written by- Jon Bon Jovi + Richie Sambora

Album- ?CrushÂ¦ 2000 

Intro-  -  |  | 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

Verse 1:

It s hard for me to say the things

I want to say sometimes 

There s no one here but you and 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

Song- ?Two story TownÂ¦

Artist- BON JOVI

Written by- Jon Bon Jovi

Album- ?CRUSHÂ¦ 2000 

Intro:  |  |  |  | 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.

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

TRACK 6

Song- ?Just OlderÂ¦

Artist- Bon Jovi

Written by- Jon Bon Jovi & Richie Sambora

Album- ?CRUSHÂ¦ 2000 

Intro-  |  |  |  | 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:  |  |  |  | x2 (keyboard plays)

*

Well I look in the mirror, I don-t hate what I see

*

Just a few more lines staring back at me

* *

Now the nights, have gone a little bit colder

*

Hey man, I got to run but you take care

*

If you see coach -T- tell him I-ve cut my hair

*

I-ve kept my friends, but I still believe I-m Just

Huh

TRACK 7

Song- ?Mystery trainÂ¦

Artist- BON JOVI

Written by- Jon Bon Jovi + Richie Sambora

Album- ?CRUSHÂ¦ 2000 

I-m not sure if these chords are correct, I struggled through and this the best I could do.

Intro-  |  |  |  | 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:  |  | x2

You know everything about her but don-t know her at all

Chorus 2:

* *2 * *2

She-s a day ride on a mystery train

* *2 * *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

* *2

She-s a day ride.

* *3

On a mystery train, yeah, yeah

Song- ?Save the WorldÂ¦

Artist- BON JOVI

Written by-?

Album- ?CRUSHÂ¦ 2000 

Intro-  |  |  |  | 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,

 Csus4 

Sweat on this old collar, that-s my P.H.D.

  Bb

It comes down to this I wouldn-t exist,

Without you it ain-t worth the time

  Bb

I-d fight for one kiss, on a night like this

 Esus4 

You make me feel I can fly and I-

Chorus:

     E7 

I can save the world, since the night your love saved me

     E7

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:  |  | 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

   C#m F#m7  

I can save the world,

   F# G#m 

I can save, the world

Outro:  | F# | G#m |  | x4

Because I-m such a nice person, I-ve Tabbed the Intro for you all as best I can. Aren-t I nice?

TRACK 9

Song- ?Captain Crash and the Beauty Queen from MarsÂ¦

Artist- BON JOVI

Written by- Jon Bon Jovi

Album- ?CRUSHÂ¦ 2000 

Hereâs a kick ass song!!! 

Intro-  |  |  | 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:  |  |  |  |

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)

Song- ?She-s A mysteryÂ¦

Artist- BON JOVI

Written By-?

Album- ?CRUSHÂ¦ 2000 

Intro-  | Bb | Gm |  |

Bb 

She won-t let me buy her jewellery,

Bb 

She don-t want things that she can keep

  Eb Bb

She wears wildflowers in her hair, then throws them to the sea

Gm 

She-s the beginning and the end of me

Chorus:

 Bb Gm 

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:

Gm  

The only promise I can keep, even in my dreams she ruins me

   Bb

She-s everything in the world that you cannot explain

Gm 

But she throws me a smile it-s like fire in the rain

Chorus:

 Bb Gm 

She-s, a mystery, there-s no defence it-s innocence

  Bb

But she won-t let you see, -cause she-s, a mystery.

That-s it. Ha Ha.

Enjoy.

Intro-  | Esus4 | x2 (strum lightly)

 Esus4  Esus4

It feels like I-m walking on air, when I walk down your street

 Esus4  Esus4

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
