In a previous article, chris@labtam.labtam.oz.au () says:
Was requested, but the person mainly wanted chords (rather than tab).
Here is (in my opinion) the "signiture" riffs and melody of
the song. But I find it hard to adequetly describe it just with chords.
YOU GIVE LOVE A BAD NAME - Bon Jovi
===================================
Intro licks - a few like this
|----------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------|
|--10b12--12r10---8--10b12r10--8---------|
|--------------------------------10~~~---|
|----------------------------------------|

^
Signiture
---------
This can be played single-note (like bass) or turned into chords
by adding the fifth and octave. (i.e X6XXXX => X688XX)
Also matches the vocal during the pre-chorus and chorus.

Verse 1
An angel's smile is what you sell
You promise me heaven then put me through hell
Chains of love got a hold on me
When passions a prison you can't break free
Pre-chorus
Oh, You're a loaded gun
Oh, There's noway to run
No one can save me
The damage is done
Chorus
Shot thru the heart
And you're to blame
You give love a bad name
I play my part and you play your game
You give love a bad name
You give love a bad name
2 Verse
You paint your smile on your lips
Blood red nails on your fingertips
A schoolboy's dream, you act so shy
Your very first kiss was your first kiss goodbye

Bon Jovi-You Give Love A Bad Name [Lyrics]
Okay, so lately i've been checking out the comments on this vid out of boredom from my other account, and all i've seen is people going on about bad grammer and whatever the hell else. So i just thought i'd let you know, i got the lyrics off some random site. ok? But ok, fair play, it's a lyriced vid so you have a right to complain, but if it's not to your standard, then i suggest you view someone else's video where they've taken their sweet time to input the correct grammer just for you ...
