This is the best transcription of this song you'll find on the 'net. This
is close
to how Frusciante plays it - especially the Chorus. 12-string acoustic,
tuned down
a half-step. No Capo. And most importantly: hit the strings as hard as
humanly
possible.
VERSE 1:
I am a man cut from the

This file represents my own work, that is, if you want to call it "work".
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
