Bon Jovi - Bed Of Roses  
=======================

transcribed by Gary Chapman

Key:
---

 ^   = hammer/pull
 /   = slide
(b)n = bend to fret n
 ~   = vibrato
 \/  = push whammy to lower note a semitone, then release (done quickly) 
( )  = implied notes - optional 


Note:  This was transcribed from the MTV "plugged" version so it may be
       different from the recorded version.  I've done the intro and the
       solo, but none of the fills during the verses.  Some of the lyrics
       may be a bit wrong too.  Anyway...
