Below the tab there is time notation in sixteenth notes (1 e + a, etc). If you know what this means, then it may help you; if you don't understand the timing notation, just listen to the CD and follow the tab. The bass intro is from a recent interview with Aerosmith's Bassist in Guitar World magazine. The guitar part is a decent approximation. Everything else in this song is pretty straightforward; a little work should do it. For the break between the verse (Fig C), the []3 means play three times. The only version I have of this tune is the one from Greatist Hits, so I don't have any solos to transcribe; when I hear it on the radio or from someone's Pandora's Box, there is more than what's here. If anyone has this, please post. If I've made errors, please download this file, update it, and resubmit it to the archives.
