Song: Wanted Dead or Alive
Artist: Bon Jovi
Album: Slippery When Wet
Transcriber: Jon Sellner
Adam Miller tabbed the main riff for this song
previously on this site. I had to correct it a
little and put it in its entirety.
This is my first tab. I hope it looks okay.
I know more Jovi songs from Slippery and Jersey
so if you need advice email me:

When ever that funky guitar riff is played play D?s on the
A string (5th fret) where appropriate.
Rest on the first verse.
For the second verse play:

being a cowboy (hope that works) play:
