Aerosmith - Cryin'

Originally in A, I play in D or D capo 1

The highest part is the “breathin’ room” after

the first chorus, it goes up to the 4.

When acoustic, I also play something for the main riff

that looks a little more like Bb5 Bb5/G Bb5 C5,

or Eb Eb Bb5 C5. Even just Bb5 Bb5 Bb5 C5 works.

D#5F5A#5C5x3

D#5F5A#5C5D#5

DThere was a Atime

BmWhen I was so F#mbroken-hearted

GLove wasn’t Dmuch of a Afriend of mine

DThe tables have Aturned, yeah

Bm‘Cause me and them F#mways have parted

GThat kind of Dlove was the Akillin’ kind, listen

CAll I Gwant is someCone I can’t reGsist

Vox start this line on the same note as the last line,

and go a half-step up on “way”

FI know all ICneed to know by the Away that I got kissed

Vox in on the 1 of whatever chord is last in this phrase.

That’s C if you’re playing in D. Chords are just the intro

riff.

D#5F5A#5C5Now there’s not even breathin’ room

D#5F5A#5C5Between pleasure and pain

D#5F5A#5C5Yea you cry when we’re makin’ love

D#5F5A#5C5Must be one and the D#5same

DIt’s down on meA

BmYeah I got to tell F#myou one thing

GIt’s been on my mDind, girl AI gotta say

DWe’re partners in criAme

BmYou got that certaiF#mn something

GWhat you give to Dme takes mAy breath away

Now the Cword out on the Gstreet is the Cdevil’s in your Gkiss

FIf our love goes Cup in flames it’s a Afire I can’t resist

Solo over intro chords

Vox in on the 5 of the first chord

That’s a D# if you’re playing in D

‘Cause G#what you got inD#side

Ain’t G#where your love should D#stay

Vox down a whole step on “our”, then up a whole step to “ain’t”,

and up a half-step on “give”.

YeahC#, our love, sweet loveG#, ain’t love

Yill ya Agive your heart away

Note the minor chords are switched in this chorus

Solo
