Don't Cry tab by Guns N' Roses (Ver. 3)
Guitar tabs
Tuning: Half-Step Down (D# G# C# F# A# D#)
Album: UYI 1 & 2
Transcribed by: slashjunior
It is quite a complex song with two guitars, you can play just guitar 1 parts
in the chorus and verse then play the solo but it won't sound as good.
I have used the key:
(1) - Guitar 1 (Izzy)
(2) - Guitar 2 (Slash)
Tuning - Drop 1/2 a step
Am Dm G Csus2 G/B
