"Permanent Vacation" by Aerosmith(from the 1987 Geffen album PERMANENT VACATION)This is a nice, easy, straightforward rocker. The whole thingcan be fairly duplicated with basic open chords. Most of thesong is the following riff of D and A:E --2-2-2-2---------|-------------------|--2-2-2-2----------- B --3-3-3-3---------|----2-2-0-2-2-0-2--|--3-3-3-3----------- G --2-2-2-2---------|----2-2-0-2-2-0-2--|--2-2-2-2----------- D --0-0-0-0---------|----2-2-0-2-2-0-2--|--0-0-0-0----------- A ------------------|----0-0-0-0-0-0-0--|-------------------- E -----------0-2-3--|--4----------------|-----------0-2-3---- E --------------------------------------------- B ----2-2-0-2---------------------------------- G ----2-2-0-2---------------------------------- D ----2-2-0-2---------------------------------- A ----0-0-0-0---------------------------------- E --4------------------------------------------It's repeated for every verse with the following change at theend of the phrase (or you can always power chord it for thatextra "oomph"):C D AE --0------2--------------|-------------------- B --1------3--------------|-------2-2-0-2------ G --0------2--------------|-------2-2-0-2------ D --2------0--------------|-------2-2-0-2------ A --3---------------------|-------0-0-0-0------ E ---------------0--2--3--|--4-----------------Yeah, yeah I got to get a-wayThe bridge is another simple pattern of open chords:C G F CE ----0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--3--3--3--3-----1-1-1---0------ B ----1--1--1--1--1--1--1--1--0--0--0--0-----1-1-1---1------ G ----0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0-----2-2-2---0------ D ----2--2--2--2--2--2--2--2--0--0--0--0-----3-3-3---2------ A ----3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--2--2--2--2-----3-3-3---3------ E ----------------------------3--3--3--3-----1-1-1----------I really need it really really need it San Tro-pezThis repeats four times, and the fourth time ends on an B:C G F BE ----0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--3--3--3--3-----1-1-1---------- B ----1--1--1--1--1--1--1--1--0--0--0--0-----1-1-1---4------ G ----0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0-----2-2-2---4------ D ----2--2--2--2--2--2--2--2--0--0--0--0-----3-3-3---4------ A ----3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--2--2--2--2-----3-3-3---2------ E ----------------------------3--3--3--3-----1-1-1----------really need it man I got to get a -wayThe solos continue over this rhythmic pattern (which may well bea combination of the bass and rhythm guitar parts, but this isthe way I do it, and it sounds fine when played along with theCD):B A B D Db C B A BE ----------------------------------------------- B ---4---2---4----7-7-7-7-7-7-6--5--4--2--4------ G ---4---2---4----7-7-7-7-7-7-6--5--4--2--4------ D ---4---2---4----7-7-7-7-7-7-6--5--4--2--4------ A ---2---0---2----5-5-5-5-5-5-4--3--2--0--2------ E -----------------------------------------------During the second solo, with the harmonica, drop the Db and Cchords and just riff on the A, B, and D.And the song really lends itself to flourishes, so take theopportunities to throw in fills and riffs wherever else you can!Armed with this novice transcription (my first!), you should beable to put the entire song together. And it's fun to play atshows 'n stuff. Enjoy!Dan Amrich AMRICH@ITHACA.EDU"I don't have a car; I have a Les Paul Custom."
