Aerosmith

Intro (see tab below)
         Fm       Cm             Ab/D          Cm/Db
           Every time that I look in the mirror
           All these lines in my face getting clearer
           ... The past is gone
           It went by like dusk to dawn
         Fm                   C
           Isn't that the way
         Fm                                 add G             C    (alt C & Db bass)
           Everybody's got their dues in life to pay
                                  Fm       Eb
                        Yeah, I know nobody knows
                        Db                             Eb
                        Where it comes and where it goes
                       Fm             Eb
                        I know it's everybody's sin
                        Db                              Eb                 Fm (1st part of intro)
                        You've got to lose to know how to win

           Half my life's in book's empty pages
           Lived and learned from fools and from sages
           ... You know it's true
           All these things come back to you

                        Sing with me, sing for the years
                        Sing with the laughter, sing with the tears
                        Fm                          Eb

If the note that you slide *to* has a slash directly in front
of it, the note is not picked.  If there is a space between
the slash(es) and the note, then the note *is* picked.  I
realize this may be confusing, but I wanted to be precise.

Notation:

h = hammer-on       _b_ = bend at 1st _ to pitch of 2nd _.
p = pull-off         '  = bend up 1/4 step, 2 notes sound like one
/ = slide up         b  = bend up 1/2 step, 2 notes sound like one
\ = slide down       B  = bend up full step, 2 notes sound like one
