         I'm posting most of the rhythm parts to this song. As with all my
 posts, this could be very wrong because I have no other references but the
 cd and my head. Also as with all my other posts, in spite of the fact that
 it could be very wrong, it sounds pretty accurate or else I wouldn't be
 posting it. And finally, as with all my other posts, corrections, comments
 and questions are welcome at meunier.1@osu.edu  
                    "Somebody"(Tyler/Emspack)
 Performed by Aerosmith on "Aerosmith"(1973)
 Transcribed by Bryson Meunier
 rhy.fig.1-
 
    E---------------------------------------------------|
    B---------------------------------------------------|
    G---------------------------------------------------|
    D---------------------------------------------------|
    A----2--2--4----2--4--2--2---4----------------------|
    E----0--0--0----0--0--0--0---0--2---2--3-3--4-4-----|
 This riff changes slightly, sometimes  changing to (2  3  4) instead of (2 3
 3  4 4). When the verse comes in, play this:
    rhy.fig.2-
     I need a lady not somebody shady...
    E---------------------------------------------------|
    B------2--------------------------------------------|
    G------2-------(3x)---------------------------------|
    D------2--------------------------------------------|
    A---------------------------------------------------|
    E----------------------0---3---0---3----------------|
 (rhy.fig.1))
 The words fit into the music like this:
         
         I need a lady not somebody shady
         need someone to be close to 
         somebody cozy not somebody nosy 
         help me see my whole day through
         F#5
         someone to share the load
         A5
         somebody to walk the road I live on...live!(rhy.fig.1)
    
 Basic chords for this part go like this:
     fill 1-
        F#5   A5       live on...live
    E---------------------------------------------------|
    B---------------------------------------------------|
    G-------------------9--9\-----9---------------------|

    A---4-----7---------7--7\-----7---------------------|
    E---2-----5-----------------------------------------|
         (rhy.fig.2)
 
         Good Lord send me, good lord mend me
         send me down someone for me
         said I won't be choosy you could send me a floozy
         send me anybody you please
         F#5                   
         Somebody say you will
         A5
         Somebody further still
         G5           B5
         Somebody some-somebody for me(fill 1)
     fill 2-   D5       A                E
    E---------------------------------------------------|
    B-------------------2-------------------------------|
    G----9----7--7------2-------------------------------|
    D----9----7--7------2----------------2--------------|
    A----7----5--5-----------------------2--------------|
    E-------------------------3---2---0--0--------------|
         Now won't you send me somebody
 (repeat twice)
    
 I used two barre chords in this transcription without tabbing them. Here
 they are for those who don't know:
       B5   G5
    E-------------|
    B-------------|
    G---4---------|
    D---4----5----|
    A---2----5----|
    E--------3----|
 
    (guitar solo(by the way, anyone who wants to post the solo is more than
 welcome))
      
         (rhy.fig.1)
         yeah somebody
         won't you send me somebody
         now won't you send me somebody
 
         (rhy.fig.2)
         well,call for somebody scream loud and bloody
         call woman woman come on to me
         save for tomorrow share all your sorrow
         misery enjoys company(yes it does,yes it does)
 
 The song ends with a variation of fill 1 if I remember correctly. Although
 even if it doesn't, it shouldn't be too hard to figure out with the chords
 that I've posted here.
 Again, comments, questions and corrections are welcome at meunier.1@osu.edu
 Enjoy the post.
