J.Frusciante
Tabbed by Jimi 

Guitar 1: John (lead)
Guitar 2: Studio rhythm guitar


Intro:

rythm
|-(12)----12----12----12---|
|-------12----12----12-----|  
|-----12----12----12-------| 9 times till
|--------------------------| vocals start
|--------------------------|  
|--------------------------|  
                        
Over this John plays every 
second time this Riff:

|-----------------| 
|-----------------|  
|-----------------|
|--9-9-12-9-------|
|------------14---| 
|-----------------|

variation, every 4th time
|--------------------|
|--------------------|
|--------------------|
|--9-9-12-9-14-------|
|---------------14---|
|--------------------|

Sounds a bit complicated but he plays the first riff 9 times and every 2nd time
John Frusciante lays the 2nd riff over it. The 4th time, when John´s riff would be played, he plays the next riff instead. 
Got it? (Problems: [email protected])


Verse:

The first riff is always played. John plays:

|----------------|
|--15-13-12------|
|-----------12---| 3 times
|----------------|
|----------------|
|----------------|

When Anthony Kiedis sings "Take it away I never had it anyway..." John plays always this riff (everytime something with "take it away" or "lay on" is sung):

|--15-14-12-10-12------|
|-----------------12---|
|----------------------| 2 times
|----------------------|
|----------------------|
|----------------------|


Fill:

After the 1st verse there´s a little Fill without vocals.

The second Intro riff´s played two times 
over the first one which is played 5 times 
(After the last time the vocalsstartagain).


Verse:

|----------------|
|--15-13-12------|
|-----------12---| 3 times
|----------------|
|----------------|
|----------------|

"In you a star is born..."

and

|--15-14-12-10-12------|
|-----------------12---|
|----------------------| 2 times
|----------------------|
|----------------------|
|----------------------|

"Lay on, lay on, lay on..."

Chorus:

with the chords

 G            D        Em         C

"Way upon the mountain where she died..."

Chorus Fill 1 (something like this; just 
               try to perfect it):
     
|-------------------|
|--15-14-12-14-10---| the Fills are always 
|-------------------| played between the 
|-------------------| vocals
|-------------------|
|-------------------|

"all I ever wanted was your life"

|-------------|
|-------------|
|--9-9-12-9---|
|-------------|
|-------------|
|-------------|

"deep inside the canyon I can´t hide"

|----------------|
|----------------|
|--15-14-12-14---|
|----------------|
|----------------|
|----------------|

"all I ever wanted was your life"


Verse: same

Chorus: same

Bass bridge

Verse:

Only the two guitars play the first verse, then the bass and drums come in. Instead of the "lay on" or "take it away" part there´s another bridge, right into the chorus, played by bass.

Chorus: same


Solo:

John uses a pretty soft distortion

Great feeling
