Road To Ruin by Mr. Big
Road To Ruin
Road to ruin from the "Lean into it" is basically played with 3 parts.
I called them riffs here. These are the tabs how git-whiz Paul Gilbert
(or Pablo Gilberto) plays them "in general" they may change in detail
during the verses.
Riff 1 is played at the beginning of first two verses. A strong slide down
should be used after each power chord.(E5, B5, C#5, F#5)
Riff2 is played with a powerful groove. Try a shuffle-feel with palm mute
for the bass notes. Chords are the same as in Riff 1.
Riff 3 I seperated in two parts. In Part 1 the Chords are A and B.
The chromatics are played over a C#m. The second Part is nearly the
same as Riff 2 but this one's got other ending chords

down.. back on the..
Good Lord, I tried
To push her memory to the back o' my mind
"Mustang Sally" from her head to her toe
My life was in shambles
When she shot down that road
That was then, this is now
I'd I learned my lesson, I forgot it somehow
Headlights in the driveway,
A knock at the door,
I hear that voice, and I know what's in store...
Whoa Oh Whoa Oh
I looked in those angel eyes
Whoa Oh Whoa Oh
The devil was in disguise, year
She took me,
Down the road to ruin
(Yeah baby) my head was spinnin' round
Don't know what I'm doin'
Back on the road to ruin...
Hip Hips
Sexy legs_
Ain't no surprise I got on my knees and begged
Forked tongue, and pointed tail
If we make it this time, it's a cold day in hell
Whoa Oh Whoa Oh
She said she'd be sweet this time yeah
Whoa Oh Whoa Oh
One kiss and it all seemed so right
She took me,
Down the road to ruin
(Yeah baby)my head was spinnin' round
Don't know what I'm doin'
Back on the road to ruin...
Guitar solo-
Whoa Oh Whoa Oh
She said she'd be sweet this time
Whoa Oh Whoa Oh
The devil was I n disguise
p = Pull off
\ = slide down
