Please Forgive Me


"Please Forgive Me" is a rock ballad by Canadian musician Bryan Adams, released in October 1993 on A&M Records. It served as the sole single and bonus track from his greatest hits compilation So Far So Good. The song became a major international hit, reaching number one in Australia and Canada and charting high in the US and UK, making it a recognizable and rewarding piece to study for electric guitar players interested in melodic rock phrasing and smooth rhythm work.

  • The song runs approximately 5 minutes 55 seconds, giving guitarists extended space to explore its melodic and dynamic structure.
  • "Please Forgive Me" peaked at number two on both the UK Singles Chart and the US Billboard Adult Contemporary chart.
  • It is Bryan Adams' only Australian number-one single not written as a soundtrack contribution for a motion picture.
