I'm Down(Lennon/McCartney)
As performed by Aerosmith on "Permanent Vacation"
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
solo- E----------------------------------------| B----------------------------------------| G----------------------------------------| D--------3-----------------------3----3--| A----3\5---5---1-1---1-3-----3\5---5-----| E--3---------------3-------3-------------|
E----------------------------------------| B----------------------------------------| G---------------------3----3-5b-5-5rp3-3-| D-5b--5-5rp3-3----3h5---5----------------| A--------------3-------------------------| E----------------------------------------| [alternate bends from full to half] E----------------------------------------| B----------------------------------------| G------3-----5b-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5b-5r-3| D-5--5---5-------------------------------| A----------------------------------------| E----------------------------------------| else E--------------------------|-------------| B--------------------------|-------------| G--------------------------|-------------| D-5--------------3---------|-----------5-| A-------1-3--3\5---5-3-1---|-----------5-| E-----3------------------3-|-----1b-r--3-|
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.
