You Ain’t the First; Guns N’ Roses

I thought I had finished GNR whistle songs! But there is a tiny whistle in this one. So, let’s know about it!

“You Ain’t the First” is on “Use Your Illusion I”. Both, Use Your Illusion I and II have three songs with whistling. Axl likes to whistle very much...

For lack of another better source I have to quote Wikipedia: “Unlike most tracks on the album, electric guitars are nowhere to be found in the song — instead, acoustic guitars are used, similar to side two of GN’R Lies, and also giving the song a folk rock feel, which is added to by the tambourine (played by Tim Doyle). The song is also notable for being the only song in the band’s catalogue that is entirely in waltz time. It is also fully sung by Izzy Stradlin.”

I tried so hard just to get through to you
But your head’s so far
from the realness of truth
Was it just a come on in the dark
Wasn’t meant to last long
I think you’ve worn your welcome honey
I’ll just see you along as I sing you this song

Time can pass slowly,
things always change
You day’s been numbered
And I’ve read your last page
You was just a temporary lover
Honey you ain’t the first
Lots of others came before you woman
Said but you been the worst
Sa’ you been the worst

So goodbye to you girl
So long, farewell
I can’t hear you cryin’
Your jivin’s been hell
So look for me walkin’
Down your street at night
I’ll be in with another
Deep down inside
(Deep down inside)
