By Motley Crue. By Nikki Sixx and Tommy Lee. Arranged by Sarah Cellobat Chaffee. Pop,Rock,Wedding. Individual part. 2 pages. Sarah Cellobat Chaffee #1036634. Published by Sarah Cellobat Chaffee (A0.1457605).
Although hair metal band Mötley Crüe is best known for their rock anthems about girls and motorcycles, a standout moment of their discography is the (slightly) more sentimental power ballad Home Sweet Home. Released in 1985, the song opens with a catchy piano line and lyrics describing the singer's desire to come home and make things right with his significant other. Even though the epic guitar solo later in the song preserves the band's signature hard rock feel, this is still a popular request to this day for weddings and events, and you'll definitely have fun playing this Cellobat version for solo cello! Originally written for a wedding ceremony, this chart maintains the lyrical verses, hard-hitting choruses, and even the guitar solo of the original (although it is somewhat truncated, since the original solo is almost a full minute long!). Rated advanced-intermediate for some tenor clef and higher notes (not quite up to thumb position, but as high as 6th); this will be playable for more advanced students and sightreadable for professionals.
