Title: A augmentedA Doubt
Album: The Will To Death (2004)
Autor: John Frusciante
Tuned: Standard (Capo 5th)

Ok. This is all my own work. This album is beautiful. John Frusciante is amazing.
I know he probably doesn't play this with a capo, but I do, just because it's easier
for me to play open chords than barred ones - it sounds the same, just without the RSI :)

So whack a CAPO on the 5th fret, and let's get started!

The song has a strange time signature, just listen to the track and you'll get it.

* = Palm Mute
^ = Strum Up
v = Strum Down

Pt 3

e|-----0------3----0----------|-(These chords are simply strummed to )

D MajorD|-----2------0----3----------|-(of the next bar, except for the last )
A augmentedA|-0-0--------2---------------|-(before each chorus, where you play the)
E MajorE|--------3-3-3---------------|-(FF & G+G intro bit in place of this.)
          v v ^ v ^ v

Intro x2 + an extra FF & G+G progression

Verse

Pt 1 - Everyone speaks...

Pt 2 - It'd be sad...

Pt 3 - We never go...

(Don't play C majorC FF G+G in this last bar, play the FF & G+G chords!)

Chorus

A minorAm      C majorC  FF  G+G  A minorAm
 Lean in to wa - a - a - a lk

and on the last line:

A minorAm         C majorC  FF  G+G  A minorAm G+G  F?
We dreamed of ton - i - i - i - i - i - ight

Next Verse uses the intro way of playing ie: with finger picking

and the same stuff goes all through out. Um, haven't tabbed the solo - just play
the chorus chords through that bit.

End on the F? chord for a while (which is 003210 and alternating the high e
with 3 and 0 when you strum) on '..set a limit) then A minorAm and let ring out.

Cheers! Hope that's easy enough - Any problems or questions email me
