Notes: Chord voicings for the [Eb/A7 A7 Dm] part: Eb/A7 A7 (x02020@1) Dm (xx0231@1) |-----5------5------5----| |-----5------5------6----| |-----6------6------7----| |-----5------5------7----| |-----8------7------5----| |-----5------5------5----| Actually, I don't know what "Eb/A7" is, but I had to call it something. The Aerosmith version is OK, I guess, but this is one of those songs that really doesn't work in the male voice. Maybe Liv Tyler should do a cover of it with the Wonders.
