Hi, this is my version of Bon Jovis 'Livin' on a prayer'. It is the version from the Club-Gigs 1992 and the same which was played in Europe on the 'Keep the faith' tour. Much better version for acoustic guitar, but if you add the guitar-riff you can play it with a band too.
Use capo on 3rd fret. The original is with em - C - D (without capo), but much harder to sing.
