You need a capo on the 7th fret on this song. So when the tab says 0 or 3, its really on the 7th and 10th fret on your guitar. Intro: ------ G Em G Em |---3------0------3--------0- |---3------0------3--------0- |---4------0------4--------0- |---5------2------5--------2- |---5------2------5--------2- |---3------0------3--------0- C D |-----0-------0---0---0-------0-----2---| |-------1-------1-------1-------1---3---| |-----------0---------------0-------2---| |---------2---------------2---------0---| |---3---------------3-------------------| |---------------------------------------|
Verse intro: ------------ G |----------------|---3----------------| |---0------------|---0----------------| |-----2-0---0----|---0----------------| |---------4------|---0---strum-with---| |----------------|---2---RHCP-funk----| |----------------|---3----------------| Em |----------------|---0----------------| |----------------|---0----------------| |---2-0----------|---1----------------| |-------4-0------|---2---strum-with---| |-----------2----|---2---RHCP-funk----| |----------------|---0----------------| This is the intro to the verse, its also played mid-song between the two (long) verses, forming a kind of bridge between the two. Verse: ------ C D G Em |---0------2-----|---3------0---------| |---1------3-----|---3------0---------| |---0------2-----|---0------0---------| |---2------0-----|---0------0---------| |----------------|--------------------| |----------------|--------------------| These chords are played repeatedly in the verse. The verses are fairly long, and try playing only the thin strings, dont play the whole chord. When you hear them play the song, it sounds almost like he is playing it banjo-style. Solo 1: ------- |-------------------------------------| |---7s12---7s5---7s12---7s5-----------| |-------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------| |---7s12---7s5---7s12---7s5---5s1-----| |-------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------| Solo 2: ------- |-------------------------------------| |---7s12---7s5---7s12---7s5-----------| |-------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------| |---7s12---7s5---7s12---7s5-----------| |-------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------| |---7s12---7s5---7s12---7s5-----------| |-------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------| |---7s12---7s5---7s12---7s5---7s12----| |-------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------| This solo is played by a second guitar, and they use a bottleneck to get the sliding effect. The two solos are very similar, they only differ in the length and the final slide.
