Enjoy. - Runar runar_go@down.tc *********************************************************** *********************************************************** version 2 Tab by Rondo This is the way John Frusciante plays it!! I saw him play it that way! The Intro is correct the way Runar did it. Verse e-------------------------------------------------------------------| H-------------------------------------------------------------------| G---7-9-----7-9------7-9------7-9--------7-9----7-9-----7-9-----7-9-| D-------------------------------------------------------------------| A-7-----777----777--------------------------------------------------| E------------------10---101010----1010107----777----7778-----888----| Before the Chorus the guitar plays these strings: e-7-| H-8-| G-9-| And I think that the chorus is more of a mixture between an E and a G. E/G - D - Bm - c A "G" sounds alright too. *********************************************************** *********************************************************** version 3 Transcribed by: Chris Valente Email: RedHotMetallica@aol.com Hot song! Remember to variate a little on the solo, and have fun! Remember to play hard as hell!
