BED OR ROSES   BON JOVI


KEY OF F



-5b -5b   -5b -5b   5  -4  -5b   5
Sit-ting here wast-ed and wound-ed

-4  -5b  5  -4 -4 5
At this old pi-a-no

 -4  -4 -5b -5b -5b  5
Try-ing hard to cap-ture

 -4 -5b -5b   5   -5b  5  -4  -4    4
The mo-ment this morn-ing I don't know

   -5  -5 -5  -5 -5  -5 -5
'Cause a bot-tle of vod-ka

  -6     7   -6b -6b -6b
still lodged in  my  head

-6b  -6b  -6b    -5   5   -5   -5b
And some blonde gave me night-mares

7   -6    -6    -6 -6b  5  4
I think she's still in my bed

 4 4  -5b -5b -5b -5b -5b
As I dream a-bout mov-ies

-5b  -5b   -5b -5b -5b  5   -4   4
They won't make of me when I'm dead


VERSE 2 plays same as 1

With an ironclad fist I wake up
To French kiss the morning
While some marching band keeps
Its own beat in my head
While we're talking
About all of the things that 
I still long to believe
About love and the truth and
What you mean to me
And the truth is baby 
you're all that I need


(CHORUS)


7   7   7  -6  -6  -6 -6b -6b -6b -6b -6 -6b
I want to lay you down in  a  bed of  ro-ses

 7   7   7   7   -7  -7 -7 -8  8   8
For to-night I sleep on a bed of nails

 8 8  -7   7  7  -6b -6b -6b  -6b 4  7 -6b   -6 -6b
Oh I want to be just as close as the Ho-ly Ghost is

 4   7   7   -6 -5b -5b -5b -4  4
And lay you down on bed of  ro-ses


VERSE 3 plays same as 1

Well I'm so far away
That each step that I take is on my way home
A king's ransom in dimes I've give
Just to see through this payphone
Still I run out of time
Or it's hard to get through
Till the bird on the wire flies me back to you
I'll just close my eyes and whisper,
Baby blind love is true

(CHORUS)


  7    7   7   7   7
well this hot-el bar’s 

  7  7   7   7    -7   -7   -7
hang-o-ver whis-key's gone dry

 7   7     7       7     7  -6
The bar-keeper's wig's croo-ked

 -5   -5   -5  -5 -5  -5  -5
And She's giv-ing me the eye

 -5 -5  -5    -5   -5b  -5
Well I Might have said yes

-5b -5b -5b   -5  -5  -5 -5b -4   4
But I laughed so hard I think I died

 5   5  -5   5    -4   -5
Now as you close your eyes

  4   -5  -5   -5   5  -4 -4   5 
Know I'll be think-ing a-bout you

  -5  -5  -5   -4   -5   -4  -5
While my mis-tress she calls me

-4   -5  -5  -5  -6   -5b -5b  5
To stand in her spot-light a-gain

 5   5   5  -5   -5 -5  -5
To-night I won't be a-lone

 4   -5   -5    -5   -5   5   -4  -4   5
you know that don't mean I'm not lone-ly

  7   7    7   7   7  -6
I've got noth-ing to prove

 -6  -6   -6  -6b -6b -6b  5 -4  4
For it's you that I'd die to de-fend


(CHORUS TWICE TO END)

ENJOY!!!
Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
