Aerosmith - Three Mile Smile guitar tab

Hey dude, nice page, but I noticed you don't have my favorite song,

"Three Mile Smile"...so I typed up my transcription and here it is!

"Three Mile Smile" by Aerosmith

>From _Night in the Ruts_

I have most of the song down, but I haven't heard it for about a year, and I

just dug up a transcription I did from a year ago so here it is. This song is

a lot of fun to play!

Riff D once

Riff C once

Riff D once

Riff A twice

Next comes the solo. I did the rhtyhm part, but I was too lazy to do the

solo, because Joe Perry is a very sloppy player, and especially in this solo.

Solo Rhythm - play 3 times

Then play

Riff D four times

Then after that there's a second solo where he just plays riff D throughout

pretty much of the solo. It's pretty easy to figure out what he's doing after

this spot, but I haven't heard the song in a while so I can't remember.
