You Give Love a Bad Name
 by
Bon Jovi

Note: This a great song by bon jovi and took me a long time to figure out. This tab has
no mistake by me (it has correct pitch and notes) but if you find any mail me at
[email protected] . Its taken out by ear and was done on an accoustic so i cant tell you
its best instruments or its amp settings. If anyone has an electric out there please feel free
to repost this and provide them or mail me and i will. Thank you bon jovi for such a great song
and have fun playing it:
