----5-4-3-|

then the verse once more followed by a solo with harmonica as bass plays:
(x7)
G|----|------|
D|----|-45---|
A|7---|7-----|
E|----|------|

watch out for the pause in the verse measure as the lyrics "looked so good I just
couldn't let her go" are sung

outro--quickly hit the 7th fret on the A string 56 times, then:
G|--------999999999---|
D|--------------------|
A|7-5-----------------|
E|----7-0-------------|

If not for this version of this song Aerosmith probably would not have recorded there mega-popular version.
