Tabbed by: John Ulmer
Email: [email protected] (check out my website for some movie-oriented stuff!)

Please e-mail me comments about the tab - if you find errors I'll correct them.

Notes: I've tried to assemble the tab in order of rhythm - e.g. two spaces for notes
close to each other, four spaces for those that are separated by a beat or two (be
aware that web formatting may mess this up though!). If possible listen to the song
for the complete rhythm (obviously) as it's a very "funky" sort of rock beat and almost
impossible to tab out. After listening to the song very often (probably too often) I'm
almost positive this tab is 100% correct - it's a bit similar to some of the others here
but I've corrected a few mistakes and re-written it all entirely from scratch, based on
many hours of "ear-tabbing." Previous tabs were close but contained a few mistakes I
found annoying (just from a player's perspective), mainly notes were listed higher up
on the neck when Aerosmith actually plays them towards the front. Also some people had
put it in Eb tuning - it's played standard.

Anyway, this is my first tab so go easy on me! :) Please rate the tab if you get a
chance though!

Oh, one more thing: I didn't bother with any bends, slides, etc. because most of it's
pretty obvious - again, just listen to the song. Also, Aerosmith often plays it in
different styles so it doesn't make much of a difference how you do it. (The Run DMC
music video featuring Aerosmith is even done with R&B beat!)

Well, here you go:

Lyrics:

Backstroke lover always hidin' 'neath the covers
Till I talked to your daddy he say
He said you ain't seen nothin' till you're down on a muffin
Then you're sure to be a changin' your ways
I met a cheerleader was a real young bleeder
Oh the times I could reminisce
'Cause the best things of lovin' with her sister and her cousin
Only started with a little kiss
Like this

Seesaw swingin' with the boys in the school
And your feet flyin' up in the air
Singin' hey diddle diddle
With your kitty in the middle of the swing like you didn't care
So I took a big chance at the high school dance
With a missy who was ready to play
Wasn't me she was foolin' 'cause she knew what she was doin'
And I knowed love was here to stay
When she told me to

Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way

Just gimme a kiss
Like this

Schoolgirl sweetie with a classy kinda sassy
Little skirt's climbin' way up the knee
There was three young ladies in the school gym locker
When I noticed they was lookin' at me
I was a high school loser never made it with a lady
Till the boys told me somethin' I missed
Then my next door neighbor with a daughter had a favor
So I gave her just a little kiss
Like this

Seesaw swingin' with the boys in the school
And your feet flyin' up in the air
Singin' hey diddle diddle
With your kitty in the middle of the swing like you didn't care
So I took a big chance at the high school dance
With a missy who was ready to play
Wasn't me she was foolin' 'cause she knew what she was doin'
When she told me how to walk this way
She told me to

Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way

Just gimme a kiss
Like this

This is one of my top five favorite Aerosmith songs. The beat, the words, everything is
so great - and it's incredibly fun to play on the guitar.
Good luck!
