        Okay, so I know this isn't really an Aerosmith song, per se.
Nonetheless, it was written by Steven Tyler and it is included in an
Aerosmith box set. I think those are good enough reasons for putting it in
the Aerosmith section of OLGA instead of starting a new file for "Chain
Reaction." Anyway, here it is, like it or not.
        This should be pretty accurate. If you don't think so, send
corrections to meunier.1@osu.edu  Comments and questions are also welcome.
Have fun with it.

"I can't ever forget how excited I was about being in an actual recording
band. It was a total dream come true. The other side of it is that it's a
pretty lame song. I never got a cent. So that was my first taste of
'shysterism.'"

Repeat that riff where appropriate. It's pretty much evident throughout the
song. The lyrics and chord changes for the verse are as follows:

   When I needed you
   To be my girl
   When I needed you
                    A5
   To give me a whirl
chorus-
   G5
   When I wanted all you had
                  (main riff)
   And what you gave me turned out all bad
    C5      A   Bb5 C5  D5   
   I needed all your love

The Greatest Love Song
What the title is but better. Lyrics: I love you Oh yes I do When I first set eyes on you I needed you Oh yes I did Best moment in me life I was better from when I had rice And when I started to cry I cried when you rejected me So I started to die It was very embarrassing When the devil laughed And said I was a nincompoop I say now we say the guitar solo I say this the guitar solo (x2) I say I love you I love you now I love you I love you now I say I love you now And now I put the camera back to here I say I say 1,2,3 Love you now Don't make me cry no more babe Alex/Guitarist - http://www.youtube.com/user/alextolson123
