 Bon Jovi - It's my life (Bass Tab)

Figured out and tabbed by Felix Pflaum (f.i.x@gmx.de)

Finally a new song by Bon Jovi. It's not difficult to play and sounds cool. If 
you got a 5-string-bass, play the C on the B-string.

tabbed it for a standard guitar. If you do have one, play the C power chords low.
