Aerosmith
Bone To Bone (Coney Island Whitefish Boy)
(Tyler, Perry)
2:59
Flatbush boy
Cruisin' sheepshead bay
His boardwalk mama
Just a sniff away
Underground DMT ridin' thunder train
The coney island whitefish boy is on the run again
Ooh, runnin' with the pack
Ooh, never been lookin' back
Ooh, knows just where he's been
That coney island whitefish boy's been there and back again
Sixteen years
With his boardwalk queen
And at steeplechase
She used to wet his dreams
She combs her hair that flaming jewel
Streaked with clorox bleach
Coney gettin' down and dirty
Snortin' up the beach
She'd be screamin' coney
She'd be dreamin' coney
Go get 'em coney
Coney
Bone to bone screamin' coney
She'd be screamin' coney
Get back in town
Get back in town
Get back, get down
Get back in town
Coney
She'd be screamin' coney
Best believin' coney
Vicini Vicini (Pescatore Bianco di Coney Island)
Ragazzo fuori bussola naviga per Sheepshead Bay
La sua ragazza passerella a uno sputo di distanza
Metropolitana D.M.T. scalpitante treno del tuono
Il pescatore bianco di Coney Island è di nuovo in azione
Oh, corre col suo carico
Oh, non si guarda mai indietro
Oh, sa solo dove è stato
Quel pescatore bianco di Coney Island è stato là ed è tornato
Sedici anni con la sua regina passerella
Lei gli bagnava i sogni durante la Grande Corsa
Lei si pettina i capelli, quel fulgido gioiello
Striati di candeggina Clorox
Conan smonta e viene sbuffando su per la pioggia
Lei grida: "Coney!"
Lei sogna Coney
Portalo a casa Coney Coney

From: Bryson Meunier
Subject: TAB:"Bone To Bone(Coney Island White Fish Boy)" by Aerosmith
"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. The lyrics are as follows:
Flatbush boy cruisin Sheepshead Bay
his boardwalk mama just a sniff away
Underground DMT ridin' thunder train
The Coney Island White-fish Boy is on the run again!
Ooh, runnin' with the pack
Ooh, never lookin' back
Ooh, knows just where he's been
That Coney Island White-Fish Boy's been there and back again!
She'd be screamin' "Coney!"
She'd be dreamin' "Coney!"
Go get em' Coney
Sixteen years with his boardwalk queen
Steeplechase she used to wet his dream
She combs her hair, that flaming jewel,streaked with Clorox Bleach
Coney's gettin down and dirty, snortin' up the beach
(etc.)
"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
