Write Me(or ‘Write Me A Letter’)
from the album AEROSMITH
REVISED(11/22/96): intro riff slightly changed
I don’t have all of this but I do have most of it. Correct it if you can.
intro riff-
guitar 1(distortion)
E————————————|
B————————————|
G————————————|
D–5–3———-3–3—–2–2——-|
A——–5-5————————-|
E————-3——–3———3—| repeat
I find it easiest to use my thumb when playing the lower notes.
(pay more attention to the rhythm and the feel than to the numbers)
E————————————————3-|
B————————————————3-|
G————————————————4-|
D-5-7–5-7—5-7–5-7—7-9–7-9–3-3-x-4-4-x-5–5-|
A-3-3–3-3—3-3–3-3—5-5–5-5–3-3-x-4-4-x-5—-|
E———————————1-1-x-2-2-x-3—-|
guitar 2(right before verse)
E———————|
B———-3–0——-|
G—0–3b——–3—-|

verse/main riff-
E———————————————–|
B———————————————–|
G———————————————–|
D————————-5-5-7-5-7–5-5-7-5-7–|
A—5-5-7-5-7–5-5-7-5-7–3-3-3-3-3–3-3-3-3-3–|
E—3-3-3-3-3–3-3-3-3-3————————|
E————————|
B————————|
G————————|
D–7-7-9-7-9–3—4—5–|
A–5-5-5-5-5–3—4—5–|
E————-1—2—3–| continue similar pattern
Then there are a bunch of chords that I don’t feel like figuring out right now
and this lick right before the harmonica solo:
E—3——————————|
B—3——————————|
G—4—————————3–|
D—5———————3–5—–|
A—5————3–4–5———–|
E—3——3–6——————–|
After the harmonica solo the rhythm guitar goes into this riff:
E—————————————————-|
B—————————————————-|
G——————————-5-0-7-5—-7-5——-|
D—5—7-7—–5—7-7—-5—-5-0-7-5–0-7-5-0-5-7-|
A-0-5-0-7-7—0-5-0-7-7–0-5-0–3-0-5-3–0-5-3-0-5-7-|
E-0-3-0-5-5—0-3-0-5-5–0-3-0——————-3-5-|
During this part, the other guitar plays something like this:
E————————————|
B————————————|
G————————————|
D——–7————-7————-|
A————————————|
E————————————|
Follow the tab here loosely.Just play it in rhythm and it should sound alright:
(Palm mute)
bend it when it sounds appropriate
E—————————————–|
B—————————————–|
G—5-7-7b-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7r-5-|
D-7—————————————|
A—————————————–|
E—————————————–|
E—————————-|
B—————————-|
G-5-7-5–5-7-5-5-7-5-5——-|
D———————-5-7—|
A—————————-|
E—————————-|
That’s all I have right now but it should get you through most of the song. As always, send all
and corrections to [email protected] Have fun with it.
