[Intro]
Is she really going out with him?


[Verse 1]
Hey!
I got a feeling inside of me
It's kinda strange like a stormy sea
I don't know why, don't know why
These kinds of things got to be

[Chorus]
I got a new rose, I got it good
Yes, I knew that I always would
I can't stop to mess around
I got a brand new rose in town

[Verse 2]
See the sun, see the sunny skies
Don't get too close it'll burn your eyes
Don't you run away that way
Come back another day

[Chorus]
I got a new rose, I got it good
Yes, I knew that I always would
I can't stop to mess around
I got a brand new rose in town

[Verse 3]
I never thought this could happen to me
All the same, I'm a strange washing machine
I don't deserve somebody this sane
I better get her, maybe too late

[Bridge]
Hey!

[Verse 1]
Awww, I got a feeling inside of me
It's kinda strange like a stormy sea
I don't know why, don't know why
I guess These kinds of things got to be

[Chorus]
I got a new rose, I got it good
Yes, I knew that I always would
I can't stop to mess around
I got a brand new rose in town

Guns N’ Roses

Guns N' Roses was the most dangerous band in the world in the late 80s and early 90s. Led by singer Axl Rose and stylish guitarist Slash, they mixed the passion of blues, the heaviness of rock, and the attitude of punk, bringing forth a breath of fresh air to a music scene dominated by cheesy hair metal bands.

Their debut album, Appetite for Destruction, is the best selling debut of all-time. They outsold a headlining Aerosmith on their first major tour, released two double albums (Use Your Illusion I & II) simultaneously, and soon would play to audiences in excesses of 20,000 people.

However, cracks started forming in the band, as classic era drummer Steven Adler was fired from the band before the “Use Your Illusion” releases and founding rhythm guitarist Izzy Stradlin left abruptly during the ensuing tour. They were replaced by Matt Sorum and Gilby Clarke, respectively, with keyboardist Dizzy Reed joining the band and expanding the group’s sound.
