Group: Red Hot Chili Peppers Title: Snow Album: Stadium Arcadium Tabbed by: Jon Turner jrt5024@gmail.com I love John's vocal part on this song. <3 Sorry about it being cramped at parts. If it says 11 or 13, that's~E 11 or 13, not 1 or 3 (twice). ------------------------------------------- Guitar intro (4 measure rest) VERSE 1 - :09 (riff 1) * + * + * + * + * + * + * + * + G|----------------|----------------| D|----------------|----------------| A|------467-------|------679-------| E|4---------------|7---------------| * + * + * + * + * + * + * + * + G|----------------|----------------| D|----------------|----------------| A|------467-------|------679-------| E|4---------------|7-----------7---|

I originally thought it was an octave lower and played with the bass drum, before I really listened and realized there're higher notes. You can really hear it on the 13, but the 11 sticks out too cause it's on the offbeat (which I also didn't notice at first). You can barely hear it. So sneaky! It sounds like there's lower stuff when I have my bass really turned up, but I think that's just the bass drum vibrating cause you don't hear it at all when the bass volume is normal. I dunno. It also sounds like the very last measure might be an octave lower, but again, I only hear that when the bass is SUPER turned up and not otherwise, and I don't hear it on the 2nd interlude. :\ Bridge / Outro 1 ~V 1:46 * + * + * + * + * + * + * + * + G|----------------|----------------| D|----------------|----------------| A|2-222-2222222-22|----------------| E|----------------|2-222-2222222-22| * + * + * + * + * + * + * + * + G|----------------|----------------| D|----------------|----------------| A|4-444-4444444-44|4-444-4444444-44| E|----------------|----------------| Repeat 2x Verse 3 ~V 2:22 Riff 3 (riff 5) * + * + * + * + * + * + * + * + G|----------------|----------------| D|----------------|----------------| A|------467-------|------679-------| E|4---------------|7---------------| * + * + * + * + * + * + * + * + G|----------------|------------1311| D|----------------|----------------| A|------467-------|------679-------| E|4---------------|7---------------| *NOTE - It's possible the 13-11 is D|6-4 instead, but it sounds higher. Just listen to it, do what you want.
