Subject: TAB:"When I Needed You" by Aerosmith

Okay, so I know this isn`t really an Aerosmith song, per se.

Nonetheless, it was written by Steven Tyler and it is included in an

Aerosmith box set. I think those are good enough reasons for putting it in

the Aerosmith section of OLGA instead of starting a new file for "Chain

Reaction." Anyway, here it is, like it or not.

This should be pretty accurate. If you don`t think so, send

corrections to [email protected] Comments and questions are also welcome.

Have fun with it.

"I can`t ever forget how excited I was about being in an actual recording

band. It was a total dream come true. The other side of it is that it`s a

pretty lame song. I never got a cent. So that was my first taste of

`shysterism.`"

-Steven Tyler

Repeat that riff where appropriate. It`s pretty much evident throughout the

song. The lyrics and chord changes for the verse are as follows:

When I needed you

To be my girl

When I needed you

To give me a whirl

chorus-

When I wanted all you had

(main riff)

And what you gave me turned out all bad

I needed all your love

You`ll have to listen to the music to understand how the chords fit in with

the song. Here are all the chords used in this post for those who aren`t
