Dream On by Aerosmith

After watching a couple of youtube guitar and bass videos, I realized my previous tab needed to be corrected. Here's the revised version of the song which includes the notes the bass player plays.

 Every     time that I look in the    mirror
Fm         Cm          Dm7b5          Db
All these lines on my face gettin' clearer
Fm         Cm          Dm7b5          Db
       The past is  gone

Lived and    learned from fools and from sages
Fm            Cm          Dm7b5          Db
You know it's true
