I Could Die For You by Red Hot Chili Peppers

I Could Die For You tab by Red Hot Chili Peppers

Tabs with lyrics

Title: "I Could Die For You"
Album: By The Way


This is my Tab for "I Could Die for You" from the Red Hot Chili Peppers
Album By The Way.
Since I bought the album, I haven't stopped listening to it. It is easily
their most accomplished work to date.
John Frusciante still proving why he is one of the best guitarists out there
at the moment. This is only my
interpretation of the song, so as always; I am open to your opinions of it.
I you think it rocks, e-mail me.
If you think it can be improved, e-mail me. However, as this is only my
may be slightly difficult and if so, I apologise. Anyway, enough from me.
Enjoy the song. P.S.

The final part of this chord progression is tricky so i have decided to
remove it from above
and tab it seperately underneath.


   Part One      Part Two       Part Three

   1st, strum part one, second hammer on five and pull off as in part two,
third strum part three.
   This must done fast to achieve this Hendrix style sound correctly.


(0.52) Beginning of Verse Two, Same as Verse One.
