Road Runner

Aerosmith
Tab
★4.4(9)

This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Song

This is the main part of the song, I have not figured out the fills.

This is my first attempt at tabbing a song. I don't know if it is

100% correct, but it sounds damn close when I play along. I put the

counting in where different rhythms occur to try and give a feel

for the timing and length of each note. Enjoy.

There is intro stuff here that I have not figured out. It's the "Lady's and

gentlemen" part.
