Song

"I Live In Connecticut"(Steven Tyler/Joe Perry)

Performed by Aerosmith on "Pandora's Box"(1991)

rhy.fig.1(light palm mute)-

D/E E7

   E-2-------------0--------------------------2-------|
   B-3--0--3-------3------------3--0--3-------3-------|
   G-2--0--1-------1------------1--0--2-------2-------|
   D-2--0--2--------------------2--0--2-------2-------|
   A----0--2---2-------4-5------2--0--------------4-5-|
   E-------0---0--------------------------0-----------|

I'm not exactly sure of the arrangement on the album. It's possible that

there are two guitars playing something like this:

guitar 1(right side)-

   E-2-------------0--------------------------2-------|
   B-3--0--3-------3------------3--0--3-------3-------|
   G-2--0--1-------1------------1--0--2-------2-------|
   D-2--0--2--------------------2--0--2-------2-------|
   A----0--2---2----------------2--0------------------|
   E-------0---0--------------------------0-----------|

||guitar 2(left side)- ||

   E---------------2--------------------------2-------|
   B---------------3--------------------------3-------|
   G---------------2--------------------------2-------|
   D---------------2--------------------------2-------|
   A-7--6--5-----------4-5------5--6--7-----------4-5-|
   E-----------0--------------------------0-----------|

Of course it's also possible that the arrangement on the album is only

guitar 2 or a combination of the two arrangements. Just play whatever you

are most comfortable with. Play that eight times and then play something

like this:

rhy.fig.2-

   E-----------------------------------|
   B-----------------------------------|
   G-----------------------------------|
   D-----------------------------------|
   A--7--6--5--------------------------|
   E------------5p3--0--0----0-5p3-0---|

Repeat that however many times it is called for(I forget) and then go back

into rhy.fig.1. That's it. Have fun and correct it if you can.
