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

"When I Needed You"(Steven Tyler)

Recorded by the group Chain Reaction(10/5/66) >From the Aerosmith Box Set "Pandora`s Box"(1991)

"When I Needed You" CO9O323. main riff-

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 familiar:

When I wanted you all for my own When I wanted you but you just left me alone

(chorus)

solo 1(turn on distortion)-

(chorus)

(Steven yells "ow!")

(solo 2,basically the same as solo 1 except with a few changes that are too minor to transcribe)

(chorus)

I needed all your love(3x)

(end on D-A-G-D(or something very similar))

That`s it. Have fun with it.
