Song Lyric Sunday

This week the theme is to find a song that features a great guitar riff.

Last week was the bass guitar week and I found the BEST song so I thought I would share it. Wait for it……

Now to a good guitar riff…..

Back when I was in high school we used to all hang out in the beachy spot, before the cops kicked us out of course! During this time this was one of the biggest songs that we listened to. This song came out in 1988, which now seems so long ago!

“Sweet Child O’ Mine”

She’s got a smile that it seems to me
Reminds me of childhood memories
Where everything was as fresh as the bright blue sky (Sky)
Now and then when I see her face
She takes me away to that special place
And if I stared too long I’d probably break down and cry

Whoa-oh-oh! Sweet child o’ mine
Whoa, oh-oh-oh! Sweet love of mine

She’s got eyes of the bluest skies
As if they thought of rain
I hate to look into those eyes and see an ounce of pain
Her hair reminds me of a warm, safe place
Where as a child I’d hide
And pray for the thunder and the rain to quietly pass me by

Whoa-oh-oh! Sweet child o’ mine
Ooh, oh-oh-oh! Sweet love of mine

Oh yeah! Whoa-oh-oh-oh! Sweet child o’ mine
Ooh-oh, oh, oh! Sweet love of mine
Whoa, oh-oh-oh! Sweet child o’ mine, ooh yeah
Ooh! Sweet love of mine

Where do we go?
Where do we go now?
Where do we go?
Ooh, where do we go?
Where do we go now?
Oh, where do we go now?
Where do we go? (Sweet child)
Ooh, where do we go now?
Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay
Where do we go now? Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, wow
Where do we go?
Oh, where do we go now?
Oh, where do we go?
Where do we go now?
Where do we go?
Ooh, where do we go now?
Now, now, now, now, now, now, now
Sweet child, sweet child o’ mine

I also found this site which seemed pretty good! https://www.guitarworld.com/features/greatest-guitar-riffs-of-all-time/2

I heard this next song on the list and remembered how much I loved it so I thought I would add it since Sweet Child O’ Mine was already used.
