Permanent Vacation

(Tyler, Whitford)

4:52
I got a letter from a friend the other morning
He say it hot down by Montego Bay
I got the point and now I think it's finally dawning
Yeah, yeah, I got to get away

I got to take myself a permanent vacation
The sky's the limit but my plane won't fly
My nose is clean and Lordie don't need no sedation
Yeah, yeah, and that's the reason why

I really need it, really, really need St. Tropez
I want a tan where the sun it never shines
I really need it, really, really need St. Tropez
You best believe it that I got to get away

Ha! I got a sister man she really got a pin head
She think she kinky but she can't get straight
She say she livin' but I kinda think she's brain dead
Just excess baggage on a late night freight, yeah

I really need it, really, really need St. Tropez
I want a tan where the sun it never shines
I really need it, really, really need St. Tropez
You best believe it that I got to get away
Oh, my my my my my

Ay yeah!
Ay yeah!
Ay yeah!

I gotta take me on a permanent vacation
The girl's be cummin' down in Cayman Brack

I gotta hand it to a firm situation
Yeah, yeah, I got to cut me some slack

I really need it, really, really need St. Tropez
I want a tan where the sun it never shines
I really need it, really need it, really, really need it
Really need it, re-really need it, ow!

Ah ah ah ah ah ah choo!

Y-yeah, ow!
Oh, just what I always needed


Vacanza Permanente

L'altra mattina ho ricevuto una lettera da un amico
Dice che fa molto caldo giù a Montego Bay
Ho fatto il punto della situazione e ho capito
Che finalmente è giunta l'alba
Si, si, devo andarmene
Devo prendermi una vacanza permanente
Il problema è volare ma non lo farò
Il mio naso è pulito e, Gesù, non sento bisogno di medicine
Si, si, e questa è la ragione per cui
Ho bisogno, bisogno, veramente bisogno di Saint Tropez
Voglio abbronzarmi dove non batte mai il sole
Ho bisogno, bisogno, veramente bisogno di Saint Tropez
Credetemi, devo andarmene
Ho una sorellina proprio fuori di testa
Pensa di essere strana ma sembra essere sempre in astinenza
Dice di sentirsi viva ma mi sa che è come
lobotomizzata
Solo bagaglio inutile in un carico a tarda notte
Devo prendermi una vacanza permanente
La ragazza scenderà a Cayman Brack
Ho bisogno di stabilià
Si, si, devo proprio prendermi un periodo di riposo

"Permanent Vacation" by Aerosmith
(from the 1987 Geffen album PERMANENT VACATION)

This is a nice, easy, straightforward rocker. The whole thing
can be fairly duplicated with basic open chords. Most of the
song is the following riff of D and A:

E --2-2-2-2---------|-------------------|--2-2-2-2-----------
B --3-3-3-3---------|----2-2-0-2-2-0-2--|--3-3-3-3-----------
G --2-2-2-2---------|----2-2-0-2-2-0-2--|--2-2-2-2-----------
D --0-0-0-0---------|----2-2-0-2-2-0-2--|--0-0-0-0-----------
A ------------------|----0-0-0-0-0-0-0--|--------------------
E -----------0-2-3--|--4----------------|-----------0-2-3----


E ---------------------------------------------
B ----2-2-0-2----------------------------------
G ----2-2-0-2----------------------------------
D ----2-2-0-2----------------------------------
A ----0-0-0-0----------------------------------
E --4------------------------------------------


It's repeated for every verse with the following change at the
end of the phrase (or you can always power chord it for that
extra "oomph"):

C D A

E --0------2--------------|--------------------
B --1------3--------------|-------2-2-0-2------
G --0------2--------------|-------2-2-0-2------
D --2------0--------------|-------2-2-0-2------
A --3---------------------|-------0-0-0-0------
E ---------------0--2--3--|--4-----------------

Yeah, yeah I got to get a-way


The bridge is another simple pattern of open chords:

C G F C

E ----0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--3--3--3--3-----1-1-1---0------
B ----1--1--1--1--1--1--1--1--0--0--0--0-----1-1-1---1------
G ----0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0-----2-2-2---0------
D ----2--2--2--2--2--2--2--2--0--0--0--0-----3-3-3---2------
A ----3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--2--2--2--2-----3-3-3---3------
E ----------------------------3--3--3--3-----1-1-1----------

I really need it really really need it San Tro-pez


This repeats four times, and the fourth time ends on an B:
C G F B

E ----0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--3--3--3--3-----1-1-1----------
B ----1--1--1--1--1--1--1--1--0--0--0--0-----1-1-1---4------
G ----0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0-----2-2-2---4------
D ----2--2--2--2--2--2--2--2--0--0--0--0-----3-3-3---4------
A ----3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--2--2--2--2-----3-3-3---2------
E ----------------------------3--3--3--3-----1-1-1----------

really need it man I got to get a -way


The solos continue over this rhythmic pattern (which may well be
a combination of the bass and rhythm guitar parts, but this is
the way I do it, and it sounds fine when played along with the
CD):

B A B D Db C B A B

E -----------------------------------------------
B ---4---2---4----7-7-7-7-7-7-6--5--4--2--4------
G ---4---2---4----7-7-7-7-7-7-6--5--4--2--4------
D ---4---2---4----7-7-7-7-7-7-6--5--4--2--4------
A ---2---0---2----5-5-5-5-5-5-4--3--2--0--2------
E -----------------------------------------------


During the second solo, with the harmonica, drop the Db and C
chords and just riff on the A, B, and D.

And the song really lends itself to flourishes, so take the
opportunities to throw in fills and riffs wherever else you can!

Armed with this novice transcription (my first!), you should be
able to put the entire song together. And it's fun to play at
shows 'n stuff. Enjoy!
