questions, comments, critisism, death threats, 


and if you just want to say thank you, then that would be very appreciated   :)





I found this track on my 'californication, disc 2' because I'm here in 

australia.  Most of you people probably have it on the scar tissue 

single.  Either way, no one has the lyrics yet! Someone kind enough to type 

the out and send them to me?

I've got a hunch that the lyrics might be about Frusciante... I had heard

that they had a little, umm, snap at eachother at some stage or something...

bah, maybe it was just a rumour.  

The lyrics on this album are pretty good, I think... I mean I was reading 

in rolling stone that there were so many new songs coming out of jams in

flea's garage that anthony couldn't keep up with providing lyrics! So

I was expecting them to be rushed, maybe dodgy, but I think they're 

actually pretty fantastic.  There's a lot about John Frusciante.




know what 'the forum' is, go there and meet some nice people) were

saying that this song 'sucked'.  Well, I dont think it's very... careful 

to just say that.  If you dont like a song, you dont have to like it, 

and it certainly doesn't mean the song sucks.  I dont like porcelain 

much, maybe I'll grow into it.



Either way, I like this song... it's really cute.  :]



I haven't tabbed the chorus yet, but I reckon this riff takes

up more than half the song anyway.



key: 



x          muted note (deaden the string when you pluck it)

no lyrics yet, sorry...

This note is appended to my unfinished tabs.  The last couple 

of days I have been working on transcribing the chili peppers 

new album for guitar, and in some cases for bass too 

(although i've hardly ever picked up a bass)   :)      



I've done some of most of the tracks tonight, but I've got a 

major due yesterday and I've got test week coming up... it's 

too much to finish.  I have tabbed the intros and maybe verses 

to most of the songs, to give everyone a start - the idea is 

to get a network of people tabbing the album so it can be 

accurate and available for bands in the near future!  I don't 

play bass or drums, it would be great if other people could 

help out with transcribing instruments, thanks.  



The other idea of tabbing a little bit is to give all you 

guitarists a start; and please help with the tabbing if you 

think you've got better versions/methods/whatever.  If you 

have any corrections, additions (I haven't added song layouts; 

where choruses go and how many verse riffs to play etc... 

these layouts are really helpful for bands), or comments to 

add then don't be lazy and ignore it, email...!  Everyone who 

contributes will get credit, and thanks in advance for your 

effort.



If you want more transription of this particular track, the 


_friendly polite_ email with a request of what you're after.

  :)    If we get a lot of requests for a particular song, 

it will get more priority... but polite requests get the 

most attention.



Sorry 'bout the legal stuff at the top, 

but it's gotta be there.  :)
