Bon Jovi: Livin' On A Prayer
Tabbed by Flashheart

This is a difficult song to master, and the bassist needs to be 
relatively good to be able to play the tab as quickly as it is 
played in the song. Just concentrate. The verse is the hard bit, 
the rest is just a progression of notes, various steps up. 

VERSE repeat as many times as necessary, roughly 16 times

After the second verse the chorus will be slightly different. At the
end of the normal verse, as above, play straight into the following
bridge, which then leads into the final chorus but one key up, which 
means the fingering is the same for the chorus except that all the 
notes are played TWO FRETS UP THAN NORMAL.

Play along to the CD. I do not expect this to be exactly correct, 
but it will do for now until I work out the corrections. In the 
meantime, have a go and see what you think. Please correct this tab
so I can see where I'm going wrong. Thanks.
