Bon Jovi - It's My Life
I believe this song is actually played on a seven-string or a baritone, but I
tabbed it for a standard guitar. If you do have one, play the C power chords low.

umm... no it's played on a six string electric... but its played through a talk box (wah-wah player) which gives it that distinctive sound.

Guys, how do we download this to guitar pro?

You got the end of the solo wrong... it should go like this: E|------------------------------------------------------------------- B|------------------------------4-6b8---8-8-8b6p4-6----------------- G|7b8b7b8-etc......7b8b7p5----5---------------------3-5~~----------- D|--------------------------6---------------------------------1----- A|----------------------------------------------------------1---1-3- E|--------------------------------------------------------3---------
