          This post includes most of the rhythm parts and the lyrics. My

  technical ability allows me to play Aerosmith solos but not to figure them

  out. Anyone who wants to post the solos is more than welcome but for now

  you'll have to settle for the riffs.

  

  intro/verse riff(guitar 1)-

         |----------PM---------|

     E--------------------------------|

     B--------------------------------|

     G-----------------------3--------|

     D-----5----5p3----------3--------|

     A-----------------5--------------|

     E--------------------------------|

  

  Guitar one repeats this riff through the verse. Guitar two backs guitar one

  with a similar riff. When Steven says "pack" in the line "pack my bags I'm

  gone", one of the guitars plays this riff:

                                  C5       Bb5   

     E-----------------------------------------------------------------|

     B-----------------------------------------------------------------|

     G-----------------------------5----5--3------5----5--3------------|

     D----5----3-------------------5----5--3------5----5--3------------|

     A-------------5----3---1------3----3--1------3----3--1------------|

     E-----------------------------------------------------------------|

  

  The verse riff appears sporadically throughout the song. During the

  harmonica part at the end, the rhythm guitar plays this:

        F5               G5

     E--------------------------------------------|

     B--------------------------------------------|

     G--------------------------------------------|

     D---3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3--5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5---------|

     A---3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3--5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5---------|

     E---1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1--3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3---------| 

   

  Repeat this part until the very end and then stop and do something like this:

                       ~feedback~

     E-----------------------------------------------------3----------------|

     B-----------------------------------------------------3(14)------------|

     G---6b(hold)----6r~~~~~~------------------------------3----(16)--------|

     D---------------------------5---3-------------------------------------5--|

     A-----------------------------------5---3---1--1tr(3)-----------------5--|

     E---------------------------------------------------------------------3--|

  lyrics:

  

          Yeah I've tried ev'ry thing just to get along with you

          But now I'm gonna tell ya just what I'm gonna do

          Well I'm sick of all your cryin' when you should be leavin me alone

          If you don't believe me, you pack my bags I'm gone!

  

          Won't you please...Don't act so no good goin down(2x)

          (this line is unintelligible)

          When your old man ain't around

  

          (on the second time substitute) Well you best believe I love you baby

          When your old man ain't around

  

          (Guitar solo 1)

   

          (Guitar solo 2)

   

          Harmonica solo

   

          Won't you please...Don't act so no good goin' down(2x)

          Well you best believe I love you baby 

          when your old man ain't around

  

          ain't around ain't around...(lead vocal ad lib)
