This song is a lot less funky than some of RHCP's harder songs but It's
still really good.
This TAB transcription was created using TAB MASTER version 1.0
It makes tabbing songs a whole lot easier. If you want to you can
download it through the OLGA resources\tab utilities it is called tablat.
P.S. I'm not sure about the F6 Chord in the chorus so if you find
something that works better E-mail me at .

Lyrics:
My friends are so depressed
I feel the question
Of your loneliness
Confide... cause I'll be on your side
You know I will, you know I will
X Girlfriend called me up
Alone and desperate
On the prison phone
They want... to give her 7 years
For being sad
Chorus :
I love all of you
Hurt by the cold
So hard and lonely too
When you don't know yourself
My friends are so distressed
And standing on
The brink of emptiness
No words... I know of to express
This emptiness
Chorus :
Imagine me taught by tragedy
Release is peace
I heard a little girl
And what she said
Was something beautiful
To give... your love
No matter what

Lyrics:
My friends are so depressed
I feel the question of your loneliness
Confide 'cause I'll be on your side
You know I will you know I will
Ex-girlfriend called me up
Alone and desperate on the prison phone
They want to give her seven years
For being sad
Chorus:
I love all of you
Hurt by the cold
So hard and lonely too
When you don't know yourself
My friends are so distressed
And standing on the brink of emptiness
No words I know of to express
This emptiness
Chorus
Imagine me taught by tragedy
Release in peace
I heard a little girl
And what she said
Was something beautiful
To give your love
No matter what she said

Then you just repeat the whole section again and then it goes off into
"imagine me
taunt by tradegy......". If anyone has any suggestions,flares or thanks
it would be
cool if you could e-mail me- zzagibso@dingo.uq.edu.au. I don't think I
have put the
right amount of times you play each note but you can figure that out. If
anyone has any other chili peppers or John frusciante songs could you
e-mail them to me. Just while I am doing this Australian bands are the
best in the world. Enjoy. Martin Gibson.
