How to read this music:
--This is similar to reading regular sheet music.
--The top four lines represent the treble clef, the bottom four
  represent the base clef.
--The notes aren?t in there exact position, but they are close.
--The notes lower than the base clef lines are in the low octaves.
Example
|-------------------|
|----C--------------|
|-------------------|        The 1st note is middle C
|-------------------|        The 2nd note is the C one octave
  C                            higher than middle C.
                             The 3rd note is the C one octave
|-------------------------------|          below middle C.
|-------------------------------|        The 4th note is the C two octaves
|--------C----------------------|          below middle C.
|-------------------------------|
               C
__________________________________________________________________
This song is played in the key of C, so there are no sharps or
  flats (until the ending).
It was recorded one half step lower, so if you play along
   with the music, it won?t sound right.
**After the intro, the piano is only played in a few spots.
  When there is no piano, I have just written how I play it.

Fig. 1-----------------------------------------------------------
       When I look into your eyes, I can see a love restrained,
 
Fig 1.1 --------------------------------------------------------------
         But darling when I hold you don?t you know I feel the same.
 
Fig 2 ---------------------------------------------------------------
      Nothing lasts forever and we both know hearts can change.
 
Fig 2 -----------------------------------------------------------
      And its hard to hold a candle in the cold November rain.
 
Fig 1 --------------------------------------------------------------------
We?ve been through this such a long long time just trying to kill the pain
 
Fig 1.1 ------------------------------------------------------------------
But lovers always come and lovers always go an no one?s really
--------------------------------------------
sure who?s letting it go today  walking away
 
Fig 1.1 -----------------------------------------------------------------
If we could take the time to lay it on the line I could rest my head just
------------------------------------
knowin that you were mine,  all mine.
 
Fig 2 -----------------------------------------------
So if you want to love me, then darlin don?t refrain.
 
Fig 2-------------------------------------------------
Or I?ll just end up walking in the cold November rain.
 
Fig 3.1---------------------------
Do you need some time on your own?
 
Fig 3.1------------------------------------------
Do you need some time all alone?    Ooh everybody
 
Fig 3.1------------------------------------------------
Needs some time on their own.    Ooh don?t you know you
 
Fig 3.2------------------
Need some time all alone.
 
Fig 4.1 -----------------------------
I know its hard to keep an open heart
 
Fig 4.2 -----------------------------
When even friends seem out to harm you
 
Fig 4.1 ----------------------------
But if you could heal a broken heart
 
Fig 4.3 ----------------------------------------------|
Wouldn?t time be out to charm you       woh-----------|
 
Fig 1.1, Fig 1.2, Fig 2, Fig 2, played under guitar solo 1
 
Fig 3.1-------------------------------
Sometimes I need some time on your own.
 
Fig 3.1-----------------------------------------------
Sometimes I need some time all alone.    Ooh everybody
 
Fig 3.1------------------------------------------------
Needs some time on their own.    Ooh don?t you know you
 
Fig 3.3---------------------
Need some time    all alone.
 
Fig 1.1, Fig 1.2, Fig 1.1, Fig 1.2, played under guitar solo 2

So never mind the darkness,  we still can find a way.
 
 
 Nothing  lasts forever even cold November rain

Now the ending To November Rain
 
The Ending of November Rain switches keys, and there are flats added.
 
In first part of the ending (first 2 measures repeated four times),
you can hear the piano and I think I got it pretty close.
After that I?m just guessing, but it sounds good.
 
b means flat so Bb is a B flat.
In the first line the BbC mean play a Bb,
then hammer on (or quickly hit) a C.
 
The order it is played with the words is at the bottom.

U R AWESOME!!!!
im a pianist also, so thanks whoever did this
it's good but next time too get rid of some confusion just add and extra space between the lines to get this... ---------f- e -------d- c -----b- a ---g- f -e- maybe not, it's up to you really. P.S. Would I be asking too much for a Desperado piano tab?
