Cerita Dibalik Sweet Child O Mine - Guns N Roses

Dalam proses pembuatan lagu ini,slash sebenarnya memainkan riff sweet child o mine hanya sebagai lelucon di sesi latihan

saat itu steven adler dan slash sedang melakukan pemanasan dan slash mulai bermain "sirkus" melodi, sementara itu axl yang berada di kamarnya di lantai atas mendengar  yang terjadi di bawah sambil menulis lirik. Dia terinspirasi dari pacarnya erin everly.

Awalnya, ada verse ketiga untuk lagu tersebut. Namun, kemudian dipotong karena merasa lagu itu akan terlalu panjang.

Duff McKagan mengatakan
"lagu 'Sweet Child o mine," itu lahir hanya dalam lima menit. Ini adalah salah satu lagu sederhana,dan hanya memiliki tiga akord

jd lagu bagus belum tentu dibuat sangat serius kan

Slash - mantan Gitaris Gun N Roses

Sweet Child O' Mine Lirik

She's got a smile it seems to me

Reminds me of childhood memories

Where everything

Was as fresh as the bright blue sky

Now and then when I see her face

She takes me away to that special place

And if I'd stare too long

I'd probably break down and cry

Oh, oh, oh

Sweet child o' mine

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Sweet love of mine

She's got eyes of the bluest skies

As if they thought of rain

I hate to look into those eyes

And see an ounce of pain

Her hair reminds me of a warm safe place

Where as a child I'd hide

And pray for the thunder

And the rain

To quietly pass me by

Oh, oh, oh

Sweet child o' mine

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Sweet love of mine

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Sweet child o' mine

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Sweet love of mine

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Sweet child o' mine

Oh,

Sweet love of mine

Where do we go?

Where do we go now?

Where do we go?

Oh, oh

Where do we go?

Oh,

Where do we go now?

Where do we go?

Oh, (sweet child)

Where do we go now?

Oh,

Where do we go now?

Oh,

Where do we go?

Oh,

Where do we go now?

Oh,

Where do we go?

Where do we go now?

Where do we go?

Oh,

Where do we go now?

No, no, no, no, no, no

Sweet child,

Sweet child of mine.
