Aerosmith "Sweet Emotion"
-------------------------
This file is a comglomeration of the various posts made by various people,
along with my own corrections and the addition of timing. 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.

(Fig A 8 times)
"Sweet Emotion
Sweet Emotion"
(Fig B 8 times)

I can`t say baby where I`ll be in a year"
(Fig C - no vocals here)
(Fig B 8 times)
"Some (sweat hoggin`)? mama with a face like a gent

`cause a backstage a boogie set ya pants on fire"

(Fig A 8 times)
"Sweet Emotion
Sweet Emotion"
(Fig B 8 times)
"I pulled into town in a police car
your daddy said I took you just a little too far

you can`t catch me `cause the rabbit done died (yes it did)"
(Fig C - no vocals here)
(Fig B 8 times)
"Stand in the front just a shakin` your ass
I take you backstage you can drink from my glass
I talk about something you can sure understand
`cause a month down the road I`ll be eatin` from your hand"
(Fig C - no vocals here)
(Fig A repeatedly `til fade)
