frusciante rules!!!

havana affair - we're a happy family (a tribute to the Ramones).

Actually on the studio version there are two guitars playing. that's not exactly how
song is played but i think it's close. REMEMBER: john frusciante's guitar parts aren't a
of cake to tab...

(Picking)
B minorBm    G+G  F#F#

And then:
 A5A5 B5B5       D5D5 E5E5
e-5-/-7-7-7-7-7-7----5--7-|
B-5-/-7-7-7-7-7-7----6--8-|
G-6-/-8-8-8-8-8-8----7--9-|

A-7-/-9-9-9-9-9-9----5--7-|
E-5-/-7-7-7-7-7-7---------|

then repeat verse 1

on the live version at slane castle john then goes to something like:
(quick strumming and some effect that i can't recognise)

  B minorBm  G+G  A augmentedA  F#F#
e--10---7---9---6---|
B--12---8---10--7---|
G--11---7---9---6---|
D-------------------|
A-------------------|
E-------------------|

play with the above chords the last part:

B minorBm        G+G
sent to spy on a cuban talent show
A augmentedA        F#F#
first stop, havana go-go
B minorBm            G+G
used to make a living man picking the banana
A augmentedA    F#F#
hooray for havana

G+G         F#F#
Baby baby make me mambo
G+G         F#F#
baby baby make me loco

B minorBm    G+G  F#F#
ohohohoh ohoh ohoh (play twice)

OR you may play the last part of the song normally just by playing over and over verse 1.
if you have 2 guitars try to mix it up a bit.

I hope that this will help out!!! thanx, mike.
