Additional Lyrics
2. On a holiday, a permanent vacation.
I'm living on a cigarrete with wine.
I'm never alone 'cause I've got myself.
Yes, I imitate myself all of the time.
Livin' like this never ever tore my life apart.
I know how to maintain 'cause it's comin' from my heart.(To Chorus)
Symbols and other stuffs.
p - pulloff h - hammeron A.H. - artificial harmonics
fb - full bend hb - half bend qb - quarter bend
s - slide ~ - vibrato r - release bend
I wrote slash in a long drawn out form to separate lines that might be pushed
together if you print directly from the page. Also check out my copy of
November Rain. I got this directly from the GN'R Lies book so don't complain
to me saying it's wrong. Have a nice day. Any questions?
