November Rain - Guns N' Roses - Free Sheet Music



"November Rain" is a song in the style of a power ballad by the American hard rock band Guns N' Roses. Written by the band's lead singer Axl Rose, the song was released as a single in 1992 from their third studio album, Use Your Illusion I (1991). It features a sweeping orchestral backing and is one of Guns N' Roses' longest songs.

"November Rain" peaked at number 3 on the United States Billboard Hot 100 chart, making it the longest song in history to enter the top ten of that chart. Since its release, the song has sold over 1,000,000 copies worldwide. 

At 8:57 long, it is the second-longest song on the album, the longest being the 10:14 long, "Coma." It is the third-longest song by Guns N' Roses, behind the 9:24 "Estranged" from Use Your Illusion II.

Its distinct symphonic overtone owes to a sweeping string arrangement, orchestrated by Rose. Most live performances during the Use Your Illusion tour lacked the orchestral backing of the song (the 1992 MTV Video Music Awards being the best-known exception).

It is the longest song ever to reach the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100.

"November Rain" was voted #1 on the Rock 1000 2006, an annual countdown of the top 1,000 rock songs by New Zealand radio listeners. It was voted #2 on the 2007 version, being beaten out by "Back in Black" by AC/DC.

The song was placed at #140 on Pitchfork Media's Top 200 Tracks of the 90s.[8] In Chile, the song was placed at #73 on Chilean radio Rock & Pop (Chilean radio). - wikipedia
