Aerosmith – What could have been love (version 1) – Chord Gitar

what could of been love (from the album “music from another dimension”)

————————————–


doing most of this from memory but it should give you a pretty good start

on the song. Also the F# at the end of the first chorus sounds like it

degrades to an F#m, however you could probably still use an A chord and get

away with it. The G#m in the chorus also feels a bit rough but you can play

around with it and find some variation that fits the bill.
