Guns and Roses - Don't Damn Me Transpose up Transpose down

Originally in Fm, I play in Em and go down an octave in the bridge where it gets silly high

Intro

EmGEmG→ Dx2

Vox on the 1 on “don’t”

DEmon’t damn me when I Gspeak a piece of mind

‘Cause sEmilence isn’t golden when I’m Gholding it Dinside

‘Cause I’ve Embeen where I have been and I’ve seGen what I have seen

I put the Empen to the paper ‘cause it’s aGll a part of Dme

EmBe it a song or a cGasual conversaDtion

To Emhold my tongue speaks of qGuiet reserDvations

Your Emwords, once heard, they can pGlace you in a fDaction

My wEmords may disturb, but at lGeast there’s a reDaction

EmGEmG→ D

EmOooh yeah, Gooooh EmG→ D

SometiEmmes I wanna kill, sometimGes I wanna Ddie

Sometimes I Emwanna destroy, sometGimes I wanna Dcry

SometEmimes I could get even, sometGimes I could give Dup

SomeEmtimes I could give, sometGimes I never give a Dtruck

The first chords in each pair are fast (8th notes) here

It’s oGnlCy for a while, I Ghope yCou understand

I never wAantDed this to happen, didn’t wAant to Dbe a man

So I Ghid iCnside my world, I tGook wChat I could find

I crAied wheDn I was lonely, I fell doDwn when I was Bblind

DEmon’t damn me when I Gspeak a piece of mind

‘Cause sEmilence isn’t golden when I’m Gholding it Dinside

‘Cause I’ve Embeen where I have been and I’ve seGen what I have seen

I put the Empen to the paper ‘cause it’s aGll a part of Dme

EmHow can I eGver satisfDy you?

EmAnd how can I eGver make you seDe that

EmDeep inside, we’re aGll someboDdy

And iEmt don’t matter who you Gwanna bDe?

But nGow CI gotta smile, I hGope yCou comprehend

For this mAan cDan say it happened, ‘cause this cAhild hDas been condemned

So I sGtepped iCnto your world, I Gkicked Cyou in the mind

And IA‘m thDe only witness to the Dnature of my cBrime

But lEmook at what we’ve done to the Dinnocent and Gyoung

Well, lEmisten to who’s talking ‘cause we’re nGot the only Dones

The tEmrash collected by the eyes and dDumped into the Gbrain

Said, it Emtears into our conscience can you tGell me, who’s to Dblame?

Bridge, half time, let ring

CI know you dGon’t wanna hear me cDryin’

CAnd I know you doGn’t wanna hear me denDy

CThat your satisfaGction lies in your illDusions

CBut your deluGsions are yours, and not Dmine

Go down an octave here

CWe take for grGanted we know the whole sDtory

We judge a Cbook by its cover and rGead what we want

DBetween selected lines

EmGEmG→ Dx2

EmDon’t hail me and don’t Gidolize the ink

Or I’ve Emfailed in my intentions can you fGind the missing lDink?

Your oEmnly validation is in lGiving your own life

VicaEmrious existence is a Gfreakin’ waste of tDime

EmSo I send this Gsong to the offDended

I sEmaid what I meant and I’ve nGever pretDended

As so mEmany others do, inteGnding just to plDease

If I dEmamned your point of view, could you tGurn the other Dcheek

Solo

EmGEmG→ Dx4

CGEmEmx3

CDB7D→ B7

Let ring

EmGEmG→ Dx4

Vox way up to the 5 now

DEmon’t damn me when I Gspeak a piece of mind

‘Cause sEmilence isn’t golden when I’m Gholding it Dinside

I’ve Embeen where I have been and I’ve seGen what I have seen

Put the Empen to the paper ‘cause it’s aGll a part of Dme

EmDon’t damn me, GI said Emdon’t damn me G→ D

I said Emdon’t hail me, Goh Emdon’t damn me G→ D
