Bryan Guy Adams OC, OBC, (born November 5th 1959) is a Canadian rock singer, guitarist, songwriter and photographer. Some of his best-known albums are Reckless, 18 til I Die, and Waking Up the Neighbours.
Bryan Adams was already popular in Canada when the release of his third album 'Cuts Like A Knife' in 1983 brought him a large following in the USA. His fourth album, 'Reckless', often referred to as one of the most significant of the 1980s, sold over 4 million copies at the time and continues to sell now.

This song can be played many ways, and with many different arrangements. The album version is played with two guitars (rhythm and lead), one bass, drums, and piano. However, I find that the arrangement of two guitars (one acoustic for rhythm and one electric for picking), with percussion (you can't really call it drums, since the percussion in this version usually only consists of the drummer, Mickey Curry, keeping the beat with a marraca). The version being tabbed here (the latter version) is very easy to play, and sounds great. It is in a different key, so it may sound a little bit different than normal. I hope you enjoy it.

[ALTERNATE SOLO]
There are alternate ways of playing the solo in this song, as demonstrated during Bryan's concerts and video/DVD releases. I will list one of them here.
ALTERNATE #1: This is the solo that appears on the album version and most major releases of the song. If you are playing the song in the same key that it appears in on the album, simply move each note up two frets.
