Dyin Ain't Much Of A Livin by Jon Bon Jovi
Dyin Ain't Much Of A Livin
Capo:no capo
Dm G
A whisky bottle comforts me
C Am
And tells me not to cry
Dm G
While af full moon says a prayer for me
C Am
I try to close my eyes
Dm G
But the night's there to remind me
C Am
Of the guns and the early graves
Dm G
The ghosts appear as I fall asleep
C Am
To sing an outlaw's serenade
Dm G
Dyin' ain't much of a livin'
C Am
When you're livin' on the run
Dyin' ain't much of a livin' for the young
Is it too late to ask for forgiveness
For the things that I have done
Dyin' ain't much of a livin' for the young
The desert's been a friend to me
It covers me by night
And a snakebite's not my enemy
But it taught me how to fight
All this fame don't bring you freedom
Though it wears a thin disguise
When an outlaw is just a man to me
And a man has to die
Dyin' ain't much of a livin'
When you're livin' on the run
Dyin' ain't much of a livin' for the young
Is it too late to ask for forgiveness
For the things that I have done
Dyin' ain't much of a livin' for the young
And I hope someone will pray for me
When it's my turn to die... pray for me

This song is recorded originally in Eb tuning (Eb Ab Db Gb Bb eb),
namely a half step down from the standard tuning which is E A D G B E.
The chords are tabbed by ear from the original recording. If your guitar
has standard tuning and you attempt to play along with the song the
chords won’t fit. So you need to tune your guitar to Eb tuning first.
