Song - "You Could Be Mine" Basic Version
Band - Guns N Roses
Tabbed By - Mr Face

If you're a beginner, like me, and would like to play a basic version of the GnR ground shaker
"You Could Be Mine," then read on. It's not the full version, but it uses the same riff, but in an easier fashion.

Intro:

It starts off with a chime like sound at the begining..

E:----------------13-------------------
B:----------------13-------------------
G:--------------------------------------
D:-------------------------------------
A:-------------------------------------
E:--------------------------------------

This can also be played by just using the top E string..

Slash then does some feedback, i'm not sure what notes he uses though... I think it's on the
full version, also available on GTU..

After that is the funky bit...

E:------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
B:------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
G:-------------4fb----2--0--2~~----------------2fb--0-----0~~-----------------------------------------------------
D:----------------------------------------------------------2------------------------------------------------------------
A:-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
E:------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                 *Play this twice.. then...*

E:------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
B:------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
G:--------------4fb---2--0--2------4fb---2--0--2---------2fb---0-----0------2fb---0-----0-----------------------
D:----------------------------------------------------------------------2--------------------2---------------------------
A:-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
E:------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

E:------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
B:------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
G:--------------4fb---2--0--2------4fb---2--0--2---------2fb---0-----0------0------0------0---------------------
D:----------------------------------------------------------------------2-------2-----2------2------2------------------
A:-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
E:------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

E:------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
B:------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
G:--------------2~~~~~--/-5~~~~~--/-7~~~~~--/-9~~~~~----11~~~~---------------------------------------
D:------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A:-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
E:------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Then there's a part where Slash does some lead stuff, which i am yet to work out... But here's
a simplified version of the riff, used throughout the rest of the intro and the verse.

E:------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
B:------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
G:---------------------------------------2--4--2--4--2---------------------------------------2--4--2--4--2----------
D:-------2h4----4---2----4----4------------------------4--2-----4----4---2----4----4------------------------------
A:-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
E:------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Repeat this during the verse.
I am yet to work out a chorus riff, but am working on it and will add it when i have one that
sounds right.

Outro:

I think this is near perfect. It comes in two parts - a higher and a lower - which you will notice
during the song.  The lower is done during the part where Axl sings mainly on his own (there
is some backing vocals, but you can't hear them very well). The high part is when Izzy noticably
joins in with Axl singing "You Could Be Mine... You Could Be Mine... You Could Be Mine".
As for the rest of this tab, listen to the song for perfect timing.

Lower:

E:---------------------------------5fb---4--5--4-----------------------------------5fb---4--5--4--------------------
B:---------6---6---4--6----6-------------------------6-4----6---6---4--6----6-----------------------6-4-----------
G:-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D:-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A:----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
E:-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
           				*Play twice*
Higher:

E:-------------------------------17fb--16--17--16-------------------------------------17fb--16--17--16----------
B:------18b--18--16-18--18-------------------------18-16----18b--18--16-18--18-----------------------18-16-
G:-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D:-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A:-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
E:------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

E:-------------------------------17fb--16--17--16--------------------------------------------------------------------
B:------18b--18--16-18--18------------------------18-16----18b--18--16-18--16~~~--------------------------
G:-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------16-16--18---19~~~~
D:-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A:-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
E:------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I think that's all of it, i'll try and add some more to it when i figure it out, otherwise there's the
proper version of this in the Guns N Rose section of GTU.
