The implementation of chords using particular tunings is a defining part of the literature on guitar chords, which is omitted in the abstract musical-theory of chords for all instruments. For example, in the guitar (like other stringed instruments but unlike the piano ), open-string notes are not fretted and so require less hand-motion.
The song also includes the American Civil War song "When Johnny Comes Marching Home", whistled by Axl Rose in the intro and outro. "Civil War" is the B-side to the June 1991 release of Guns N' Roses' "You Could Be Mine" single, the promotional single for Terminator 2: Judgment Day. However, "Civil War" was not featured in the film.
