  Subject: TAB:"Hangman Jury" by Aerosmith
  
          This is the Unplugged version so it's a little different than the
  "Permanent Vacation" version. It's not that much different though so it
  shouldn't be that hard to figure out the PV version from the version posted
  here. I do not have all of the parts to this song, only a decent
  transcription of the intro and the part that follows it. Write me if you
  have any comments, questions, additions or corrections at meunier.1@osu.edu
  Have fun with it!
  
              "Hangman Jury"(Tyler/Perry/Vallance)
  
  Performed by Aerosmith at the Aerosmith Unplugged(1990)
  Originally from "Permanent Vacation"(1987)
  Transcribed off of "Aerosmith:Woodstock '94"(Octopus)
  Transcribed by Bryson Meunier

  At this point, Steven starts in with the harmonica and Joe returns to the
  beginning and plays a variation of what is tabbed here. The lyrics are
  basically the same as in the "Permanent Vacation" sleeve with the exception
  of Steven's notable substitution of "talkin' bout the first time we got
  laid" for "talkin' bout the money that I ain't made" and "stand on the rock
  Joe Perry done stood" for "stand on the rock that Moses stood." When Steven
  starts with "If I could I surely would..." for the first time, the guitar
  plays what sounds like a variation of this riff:
                                                          
     E---------------------------------------------------|

     A--x-x-7p5---x-x-5p3------3--x-x-3p2--3--------3----|

  You'll have to figure out the timing for this and the first part by
  listening to the music. I taped the Unplugged special back in 1990 but I
  didn't have it with me when I transcribed this. I may add/change something
  after I watch the tape. In the meantime, you're welcome to do the same.
  Write me with any questions.

  This next part is very similar to(if not exactly like) what Brad plays on the
  unplugged version of the song. On the PV album it's played on an electric 
  guitar:
     riff 2-
     E------------------------------------------------------------|
     B--------1--------------3--------------5------------5------6-|
     G------0---(0---------0---(0---------0---(0------------------|
     D----0--------0)----3--------3)----5--------5)---------------|
     A--2--------------2--------------4---------------6------7----|
     D------------------------------------------------------------|
  At the end of this riff, just move the second chord up the neck.
  
  I can't quite make out what Joe plays for this part yet. When I figure it out,
  I'll post it. In the meantime, if you know it, you're more than welcome to 
  send it to me to post.
  
  Before the next riff, both guitars play this(w/distortion):
  
     E-------------------------------|
     B-------------------------------|
     G-------------------------------|
     D-------------------------------|
     A--7-7-9-7--7-7-9-7--7-7-9-7-7--|
     D--5-5-5-5--5-5-5-5--5-5-5-5-5--|
     
     riff 3(electric guitar w/distortion)-
     E---------------------------------------------|
     B---------------------------------------------|
     G------9p7-------7p5--------5p4---------------|
     D--0h7-------0h5--------0h4------0------------|
     A-----------------------------------0h5--0h5--|
     D---------------------------------------------|
  
  This next part I also based on Brad's unplugged performance. I think Joe plays
  similar chords. Correct me if I'm wrong.
  
     riff 4-
     E--------------------------------------------------|
     B--------------------------------------------------|
     G--------------------------------------------------|
     D--------------------------------------------------|
     A--7-7-9-7---3-3-5-3--10-10-12-10--10-10-12-10-----|
     D--5-5-5-5---1-1-1-1---8--8--8--8---8--8--8--8-----|
  
  You should be able to use these riffs(or slight variations of them) for the 
  rest of the song. Have fun with it and write me with any comments, questions,
  corrections and additions.
