chorus again
outro: like intro
-In the solo I'm not sure but It's good , If you want you can chance and improvise with the scales
-En el solo no estoy muy seguro pero esta bien y muy cerca , Y si quieres puedes cambiarlo y improvisar
con las escalas
-If you want another Bon Jovi's song write me 'cause I know so many Bon jovi's songs ,
like my favorite "DRY COUNTY" It's so long and difficult
-Si quieres otra canción de Bon Jovi escribeme porque me se muchas canciones de Bon Jovi
sobretodo mi favorita "DRY COUNTY" es larga y dificil
