Sweet Child O' Mine - Capo III

Note - on the record, Slash tunes down a semitone, putting the song in Db, and the end in Eb minor. Some other tabs I've seen write it in D and Em (as it would be played) - however, playing this with conventional tuning makes it even harder to sing (we are not all blessed with Axl's range), so I have written it in C and Dm for the end. However, to play along with the recorded version, put the capo at fret IV

Intro Riff - 1st time guitar only, 2nd time - bass fill and drum 'punctuation', 3rd time - full band
