Below is the Riff A, and Bar chords used through the chorus:
I believe this song is actually played on a seven-string or a baritone, but I tabbed it for a standard guitar. If you do have one, play the C power chords low.

Tunning: Drop C (C G C F A D)
It's My Life
by Jon Bon Jovi
Tuning: Drop C
Note: I hadn't seen any correct tabs for this song, cause in most tabs the
opening chord is played in octave higher when in standard tuning. Upon
listening to the song, the talkbox is a low C, and then i realized the chords
follow suit. It pretty sure it's 100% right.
