Aerosmith - When I Needed You 1 Tabs

Okay, so I know this isn't really an Aerosmith song, per se.
Nonetheless, it was written by Steven Tyler and it is included in an
Aerosmith box set. I think those are good enough reasons for putting it in
the Aerosmith section of OLGA instead of starting a new file for "Chain
Reaction." Anyway, here it is, like it or not.
        This should be pretty accurate. If you don't think so, send
corrections to meunier.1@osu.edu  Comments and questions are also welcome.
Have fun with it.

"I can't ever forget how excited I was about being in an actual recording
band. It was a total dream come true. The other side of it is that it's a
pretty lame song. I never got a cent. So that was my first taste of
'shysterism.'"

Repeat that riff where appropriate. It's pretty much evident throughout the
song. The lyrics and chord changes for the verse are as follows:

   To be my girl
   When I needed you
                    A5
   To give me a whirl
chorus-
   G5
   When I wanted all you had
                  (main riff)
   And what you gave me turned out all bad

   I needed all your love

   (solo 2,basically the same as solo 1 except with a few changes that are
too minor to transcribe)

   (end on D-A-G-D(or something very similar))

That's it. Have fun with it.
