"Bone To Bone(Coney Island White Fish Boy)"(Steven Tyler/Joe Perry)
Performed by Aerosmith on "Night In The Ruts"(1979)
Transcribed by Bryson Meunier
The riff from this song and the orgiastic solos make this one of my
all-time favorite Aerosmith songs. Unfortunately I can't help anyone with
the solos but here's what I came up with for the riff:
E------------------------------------------------------|
B------------------------------------------------------|
G-----5------------------------------------------------|
D---------7p6p0---5---------------------------5---6---7|
A---------------------5p4p0---3------0--------5---6---7|
E---------------------------------------0-----3---4---5|
That riff is repeated throughout the song(you'll have to listen to
the song to figure out exactly where). During the "runnin' with the pack"
part, one of the guitars plays something like this:
...runnin' with the pack...
E-----------------------------------|
B----11b(full and release)---9h11p9b|
G-----------------------------------|
D-----------------------------------|
A-----------------------------------|
E-----------------------------------|
...and never lookin' back...
E-----------------------------------|
B----14b(hold)r-------12h14p12b-----|
G-----------------------------------|
D-----------------------------------|
A-----------------------------------|
E-----------------------------------|
...knows just where he's been...
E-----------------------------------|
B-----15b(full)r--------------------|
G-----14b(full)r------12h14p12b-----|
D-----------------------------------|
A-----------------------------------|
E-----------------------------------|
That's it for the guitar parts that I came up with. If anyone knows
any more, please don't hesitate to post them.
"A Coney Island White-Fish is a scumbag. When you lived by the
Hudson River like I did, you always saw these things floating by on their
way to sea. They were rubbers-guys would tie 'em up and they'd just keep
floating. And that, boys and girls, is a Coney Island White Fish."
-Steven Tyler
