2. NOVEMBER RAIN
When I look into your eyes Don’t you know you need some
I can see a love restrained time...all alone
But darlin’ when I hold you
Don’t you know I feel the same I know it’s hard to keep an open
heart
‘Cause nothin’ lasts forever When even friends seem out to
And we both know hearts can harm you
change But if you could heal a broken heart
And it’s hard to hold a candle Wouldn’t time be out to charm you
In the cold November rain
Sometimes I need some time...on
We’ve been through this auch a my
long long time own
Just tryin’ to kill the pain Sometimes I need some time...all
alone
But lovers always come and lovers Everybody needs some time...
always go on their own
An no one’s really sure who’s lettin’ Don’t you know you need some
go today time...all alone
Walking away
And when your fears subside
If we could take the time And shadows still remain
to lay it on the line I know that you can love me
I could rest my head When there’s no one left to blame
Just knowin’ that you were mine So never mind the darkness
All mine We still can find a way
So if you want to love me ‘Cause nothin’ lasts forever
then darlin’ don’t refrain Even cold November rain
Or I’ll just end up walkin’
In the cold November rain Don’t ya think that you need so-
mebody
Do you need some time...on your Don’t ya think that you need so-
own meone
Do you need some time...all alone Everybody needs somebody
Everybody needs some time... You’re not the only one
on their own
Guns and Roses no ha muerto, La banda, una vez
descrita como la música como el hedonismo rebelde y
como aquella banda que trajo de nuevo el hard punk,
sigue en vigencia y tiene para mucho más.
3. PARADISE CITY
Take me down to the paradise city
Where the grass is green I want to see
And the girls are pretty Oh, look at me
Take me home (Oh, won’t you please Oh, won’t you please take me home
take me home)
Take me down to the paradise city
Just an urchin livin’ under the street Where the grass is green
I’m a hard case that’s tough to beat And the girls are pretty
I’m your charity case Take me home (Oh, won’t you please
So by me somethin’ to eat take me home)
I’ll pay you at another time
Take it to the end of the line Take me down to the paradise city
Where the grass is green
Rags to riches And the girls are pretty
Or so they say Oh, won’t you please take me home
You gotta
Keep pushin’ for the fortune and fame Take me down
You know it’s, it’s all a gamble Oh yeah
When it’s just a game Beat me down
You treat it like a capitol crime Oh, won’t you please take me home
Everybody’ doin’ their time
I want to see
Strapped in the chair of the city’s gas Oh, look at me
chamber Oh, won’t you please take me home
Why I’m here, I can’t quite remember
The surgoen general say’s it’s hazardous I want to see
to breathe Boy, I’m gonna be mean
I’d have another cigarette Oh, oh take me home
But I can’t see
Tell me that you’re gonna believe Take me down to the paradise city
Where the grass is green
So far away x4 And the girls are pretty
Oh, won’t you please take me home
Capitain America’s been torn apart
Now he’s a court jester I want to go
With a broken heart I want to know
He said turn me around Oh, won’t you please take me home
And take me back to the start Baby
I must be losing my mind
“Are you blind?!”
I’ve seen it all a mllion times
I want to go
I want to know
Oh, won’t you please take me home
Un gran problema que tuvo que afrontar la banda,
fue el tema de las drogas. En su tiempo, Slash y otros
integrantes eran parte de este vicio, a lo que Axl
criticaba mucho que luego propició la separación del
grupo.

Welcome to the jungle cuenta cómo Axl vive los primeros
años de su adolescencia, y juega con la metáfora jungla-calle,
además, la carga erótica de la canción se debe a la violencia
sexual que Axl sufrió.
5. KNOCKING ON HEAVEN’S DOOR
Mama take this badge from me
I can’t use it anymore
It’s getting dark too dark to see
Feels like I’m knockin’ on heaven’s door
Knock-knock-knockin’ on heaven’s door
Knock-knock-knockin’ on heaven’s door
Knock-knock-knockin’ on heaven’s door
Knock-knock-knockin’ on heaven’s door
Mama put my guns in the ground
I can’t shoot them anymore
That cold black cloud is comin’ down
Feels like I’m knockin’ on heaven’s door
Knock-knock-knockin’ on heaven’s door
Knock-knock-knockin’ on heaven’s door
Knock-knock-knockin’ on heaven’s door
Knock-knock-knockin’ on heaven’s door

6. SWEET CHILD O’ MINE
She´s got a smile that it seems [chorus]
to me wuooh sweet child o´mine
reminds me of chilhood wuoh oh oh oh sweet love
memories of mine
where everything
was as fresh as the bright
blue sky where do we go
where do we go now
now and then when i see her where do we go
face
she takes me away to that where do we go
special place where do we go now
and if i stared too long where do we go now
i´d probably break down
and cry where do we go
(sweet child)
[chorus] where do we go now
wuooh sweet child o´mine
wuoh oh oh oh sweet love i,i,i,i,i,i,i,i
of mine where do we go now
aaaaa
She’s got eyes of the bluest where do we go
skies aaaaa
as id ther thought of rain where do we go now
i hate to look into those eyes
and see an ounce of pain where do we go
her hair reminds me
where do we go now
of a war safe place
where do we go
where as a child i’d hide
where do we go now
and pray for the thunder
now, now, now, now, now,
and the rain
to quietly pass me by now, now
Sweet child o’ mine nació cuando Axl vio por primera vez a Slash,
en una tienda de guitarras. Él estaba afinando su guitarra, cuando
de pronto Axl escuchó la melodía que daría inicio a la canción.
Desde ese momento Slash fue el guitarrista de la banda.

PATIENCE You and I’ve got what it takes
(whistle) To make it, We won’t fake it,
Shed a tear ‘cause I’m missin’ you I’ll never break it
I’m still alright to smile ‘cause I can’t take it

I BEEN WALKIN’ THE STREETS AT
NIGHT
I sit here on the stairs
JUST TRYIN’ TO GET IT RIGHT
‘Cause I’d rather be alone
HARD TO SEE WITH SO MANY
If I can’t have you right now
AROUND
I’ll wait, dear
YOU KNOW I DON’T LIKE
Sometimes I get so tense
BEING STUCK IN THE CROWD
But I can’t speed up the time
AND THE STREETS DON’T CHAN-
But you know, love
GE
There’s one more thing to consider
BUT BABY THE NAME
I AIN’T GOT TIME FOR THE GAME
Said, woman, take it slow
‘CAUSE I NEED YOU
And things will be just fine
YEAH, YEAH, BUT I NEED YOU
You and I’ll just use a little patience
OO, I NEED YOU
Said, sugar, take the time
WHOA, I NEED YOU
‘Cause the lights are shining bright
OO, ALL THIS TIME
La realidad es que GNR tiene nuevos integrantes, todos
talentosos. El verdadero fanático debería darles una
oportunidad, claro está, sin olvidar esa etapa gloriosa antes
de la sepración.
