Hey guys!Check this out: a brand new tab of These days by Bon Jovi.
It' s not perfect, but it sounds very close to the record.
The intro is piano and a guitar together, so my intro is an attempt to
mix the two instruments together. I also transcribed all the licks.
Anyway you tell me...

Verse 1
-------
I was wa[C]lking around, just a face [D]in the crowd try to keep mys[Em]elf out of the rain
Saw a [C]vagabond king wear [D]a styrofoam crown wondered if I m[Em]ight end up the same
There's a ma[C]n out on the corner[D], singin[Em]g old songs about change[C]
e[C]verybody got their c[D]ross to bare, these d[G]ays. [Lick1]
Verse 2
-------
She came l[C]ooking for some [D]shelter with a [Em]suitcase full of dreams
To a [C]motel room on the [D]boulevard I guess she's [Em]trying to be James Dean
She's [C]seen all the di[D]sciples and [Em]all the 'wanna [C]be's' no one wants to [D]be themselfs [Em]these days [Lick2 ]
[C]Still there's nothing to [D]hold on to but [G]these days [Lick3]
Chorus
------
These [C]days the [D]stars ain't out of [Em]reach [Lick4]
These [C]days there ain't a [D]ladder from the [G]streets oh no no [Lick3]
These [C]days are fast, [D]nothing lasts [G]in this graceless [C]age
There [C]ain't nobody [D]left but us [G]these days
Verse 3
-------
Jimmy [C]shoes busted [D]both his legs, [Em]trying to learn to fly
From a [C]second story [D]window, he just [Em]jumped and closed his eyes
His [C]momma said he was [D]crazy - he said "[Em]momma I've got to try"
C D Em [Lick2] C D G
Don't you know that all my heroes died And I guess I rather die than fade away [Lick3]
Chorus
------
These [C]days the [D]stars ain't out of r[Em]each [Lick4]
C D G [lick3]
These days there ain't a ladder from the streets oh no no no
These [C]days are fast, n[D]othing lasts i[G]n this graceless [C]age
Even [C]innocence has [D]caught the midnight [Em]train [Lick5]
There [C]ain't nobody [D]left but us [G]these days
Bridge
------
[Lick6]
[C]I know Rome's still burnin[Am]g though the times have changed[C]
[C]This world keeps turning ro[Am]und and round and round and rou[D]nd these days
Solo (still working on it...)

These days the stars ain't out of reach [Lick4]
These days there ain't a ladder from the streets oh no no no [Lick3]
These days are fast, nothing last there ain't no time to waste
