What is the song sweet child of mine about?

Answer 1

I only know the intro to the song so far, and for the right hand only, but I .

The right hand goes like this:

Middle D, High D, Middle A, Middle G, High G, Middle A, High F Sharp, Middle A

Middle D, High D, Middle A, Middle G, High G, Middle A, High F Sharp, Middle A

Middle E, High D, Middle A, Middle G, High G, Middle A, High F Sharp, Middle A

Middle E, High D, Middle A, Middle G, High G, Middle A, High F Sharp, Middle A

Middle G, High D, Middle A, Middle G, High G, Middle A, High F Sharp, Middle A

Middle G, High D, Middle A, Middle G, High G, Middle A, High F Sharp, Middle A

Middle D, High D, Middle A, Middle G, High G, Middle A, High F Sharp, Middle A

Middle D, High D, Middle A, Middle G, High G, Middle A, High F Sharp, Middle A

play all the above twice and then play

Middle D, High D, Middle A, Middle G, High G, Middle A, High F Sharp, Middle A

Middle D, High D, Middle A, Middle G, High G, Middle A, High F Sharp, Middle A

and that's the entire intro

Answer 2

She's got a smile that 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

Sweet child o' mine

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

Sweet child o' mine

Sweet love of mine

Where do we go

Where do we go now

Where do we go

Sweet child o' mine
