Aerosmith - I'm down
____________________


It sounds like one guitar plays straight barre chords
and the other plays them in this fashion:
   E----------------------------------------|
   B----------------------------------------|
   G----------------------------------------|
   D--------------------------5--7--5--7--5-|
   A--5--7--5--7--5--7--5--7--3--3--3--3--3-|
   E--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3----------------| etc...

   E--3----------|
   B--3----------|
   G--4---5---7--|
   D--5---5---7--|
   A--5---3---5--|
   E--3----------|
      G  C5  D5

                                          G
   You tellin lies thinking I can't see

   You can't cry 'cos you're laughing at me
        C5
   I'm  down(I'm really down)
        G5
   I'm  down(down on the ground)
        C5
   I'm  down(I'm really down)
   C5   /   /   G5
   How can you laugh  when you know I'm down

   How can you laugh  when you know I'm down

The chord progression for the next verse is the same as
above. During the piano solo the chord progression is
G-C-G-D-C-G(etc...)

I transcribed this directly from the cd without using
the Beatles version as a reference. The Beatles version
sounds very similar, though, and there's a professional
transcription for it. If you want to check it out
it's included in "The Beatles Complete Scores" from Hal
Leonard(By the way, if you're a big Beatles fan like I
am, this book is a "must have" anyway). You can get it
from Music Dispatch(the number is in the "professional
transcription" section of this page) for about $60.
