I found this track on my ‘californication, disc 2’ because I’m here in
australia. Most of you people probably have it on the scar tissue
single. Either way, no one has the lyrics yet! Someone kind enough to type
the out and send them to me?
I’ve got a hunch that the lyrics might be about Frusciante… I had heard
that they had a little, umm, snap at eachother at some stage or something…
bah, maybe it was just a rumour.
The lyrics on this album are pretty good, I think… I mean I was reading
in rolling stone that there were so many new songs coming out of jams in
flea’s garage that anthony couldn’t keep up with providing lyrics! So
I was expecting them to be rushed, maybe dodgy, but I think they’re
actually pretty fantastic. There’s a lot about John Frusciante.
Anyway, some people at the forum (www.delphi.com/peppers if you dont
know what ‘the forum’ is, go there and meet some nice people) were
saying that this song ‘sucked’. Well, I dont think it’s very… careful
to just say that. If you dont like a song, you dont have to like it,
and it certainly doesn’t mean the song sucks. I dont like porcelain
much, maybe I’ll grow into it.
Either way, I like this song… it’s really cute. :]
I haven’t tabbed the chorus yet, but I reckon this riff takes
up more than half the song anyway.
key:
x muted note (deaden the string when you pluck it)
Intro: (it’s a long one)

no lyrics yet, sorry…

This note is appended to my unfinished tabs. The last couple
of days I have been working on transcribing the chili peppers
new album for guitar, and in some cases for bass too
(although i’ve hardly ever picked up a bass) 🙂
I’ve done some of most of the tracks tonight, but I’ve got a
major due yesterday and I’ve got test week coming up… it’s
too much to finish. I have tabbed the intros and maybe verses
to most of the songs, to give everyone a start — the idea is
to get a network of people tabbing the album so it can be
accurate and available for bands in the near future! I don’t
play bass or drums, it would be great if other people could
help out with transcribing instruments, thanks.
The other idea of tabbing a little bit is to give all you
guitarists a start; and please help with the tabbing if you
think you’ve got better versions/methods/whatever. If you
have any corrections, additions (I haven’t added song layouts;
where choruses go and how many verse riffs to play etc…
these layouts are really helpful for bands), or comments to
add then don’t be lazy and ignore it, email…! Everyone who
contributes will get credit, and thanks in advance for your
effort.
If you want more transription of this particular track, the
solo, or whatever, then send me or some other transcriber a
_friendly polite_ email with a request of what you’re after.
🙂 If we get a lot of requests for a particular song,
it will get more priority… but polite requests get the
most attention.
Sorry ’bout the legal stuff at the top,
but it’s gotta be there. 🙂
