Guns and Roses - Locomotive

Originally in Ab, I play in D

DBmx2

C→ B→ AAx2

C→ Dx 8

All of these I’s are really bVII→I slides, and the I’s lean pretty heavily toward I5

GDonna find a way to cure this loneliness

Yeah, I’ll find a way to cure the pain

If I said that you’re my friend, and our love would never end

How long before I had your trust again F

I Dopened up the doors when it was cold outside

Hopin’ that you’d find your own way in

But how can I protect you, or try not to neglect you

When you won’t take the love I have to give

Vox on the high 3 of the chord

BmI bought me an illusion

Vox on the high *b*3 of the chord (!)

And I pDut it on the wall

I lBmet it fill my head with dreams

And I hDad to have them all

But oBmh the taste is never sCo sBweet aAs

As what you’d believe it is, well, I G/Aguess it never iAs

ICt’s tBhese Aprejudiced illusions

That G/Apump the Ablood to the heart of the biz C→ C

D

You kDnow I never thought that it could take so long

You know I never knew how to be strong

Yeah, I let you shape me, but I feel as thought you raped me

‘Cause you climbed inside my world and in my songs

So now I’ve closed the door to keep the cold outside

Seems somehow I’ve found the will to live

How can I forget you, or try not to reject you

When we both know it takes time to forgiveG, Gyeah C→ C

Approximating this for at least *some* chord-friendliness

Vox on the 1 of each chord

DGonna have some fun with my frustration

Gonna watch the big screen in my head

I’d rather take a detour

‘Cause this road ain’t getting clearer

Your train of thought has cut me off again

Better tame that boy ‘cause he’s a wild one

Better tame that boy ‘fore he’s a man

Sweetheart don’t make me laugh

You’s getting too big for your pants

And I’s think maybe you should cut out while you can

Ow, Bmyou can use your illusion

Let tDake you where it may

We lBmive and learn

And then sometimes it’s bDest to walk away

BmMe, I’m just here hangiCn’ onBA

It’s my only place to stay at least for now anyway

IC‘ve BworkAed too hard for my illusions just to throw them all awayCC

D

I’m tDaking time for quiet consolation

In passing by this love that’s passed away

I know it’s never easy, so why should you believe me

When I’ve always got so many things to say

Calling off the dogs a simple choice is made

‘Cause playful hearts can sometimes be enraged

You know I tried to wake you, I mean how long could it take you

To open up your eyes and turn the pGage, Ghey

DKindness iC#s a trCeasure Band it’s
