version 2
Standard tuning EADGBe
This song is not as easy as it sounds but if you practice the chord shapes a few times you should not have any
trouble trying to play it.
Here is the fretting for some of the more unusual chords:
During the verse:
Cm: - 8 10 10 8 8 8
Fdim7 - x 8 9 7 9 x
Gm#5 - x 10 8 8 8 x
Also after each phrase in the verse there is a small lick that can be improvised based around the Gm#5 chord in
the pentatonic scale that is often found in slower Chili Peppers songs (think like the riff that John played in
Under the Bridge during the verse around the chords) its a very swift hammer/pull that sounds very sweet.
Intro: Cm Fdim7 Gm#5
Verse 1:
Cm Fdim7 Gm#5
Please don't ask me who,
Cm Fdim7 Gm#5

Eb

Ab Eb

Gm Cm

Verse 2:
Cm Fdim7 Gm#5
Please don't ask me where
Cm Fdim7 Gm#5
Where you think I been
Cm Fdim7 Gm#5
I've been a lot of places
G# Gm Cm
But this could be my win
Chorus 2:
