Fuck yeah I love Whitesnake, but wrong forum dude \m/
After this post I actually went and learnt it lol - it's pretty simple actually
Code
The song begins with (Jon Lord's) wonderful keyboards. The keyboard parts
mainly outline these chord changes, that could be strummed if you don't play
with a keyboard player.
Who knows where the cold wind blows? I ask my friends, but nobody knows...

B-Second Verse
The acoustic guitar enters, arpeggiating the same chords(almost). It is pos-
soble that the slide in the Bsus2 chord should be a hammer-on. It is also
possible that I just have tin ears, but I do think I hear SOME sort of grace
note there. Anyway, it is just a detail, so if the fingering is tricky to you,
forget it.NOTE: What I call "dive bomb" slide has nothing to do with the thing
you do with the whammy bar. I just don't know what else you call those long,
fast slides down the low E-string.

I looked around, and what did I see? with a "dive bomb slide"
Broken hearted people staring at me...

stranger!!!
C-Main Riff/Third Verse
()=These notes are there, but I can't make out if they are played by the
hammond or another guitar. They don't have to be played by this guitar, anyway.

Let E5-chord ring
Make sure to nail that staccato rhythm, and to shake that last B5-chord in
every bar a little. (Maybe it would make more sense to place the 2/4 bar
after the A5-chord, but that's one for the music theory guys to think about.)

Verse 3:
I was alone,And I needed love. So much I'd sacrifice for all I was dreaming of.
(With Rhy.fig3)
I heard no warning, but a heart can tell... I feel the emptiness of love I know
so well...
D-Chorus.
Those slighly muted G5-Chords are the key to the fat, chunky sound. I don't
really remember if those "extra" chunks on the open and fifth fret of the A-
string really are on the record, but experiment with 16th-note chunks there.
It can sound very cool...
