Scar Tissue - Red Hot Chili Peppers
Transcribed by Wim.

Key:
5/7 slide up
7\5 slide down
(5) ghost note (dont pluck it, let it ring from last time)
7p5 pull off

Intro Riff:

F C Dm C F C Dm

e:|-----5--5---------------------------|-----5--5----------------------------------|
B:|-----------5--5--5/6--6--6--6\5--5--|-----------5--5--5/6--6-(6)-8p6--8p6--5/6--|
G:|------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------|
D:|--3----3----------------------------|--3----------------------------------------|
A:|----------3--3---3/5--------5\3--3--|------------3----3/5-----------------------|
E:|------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------|

Play this intro riff once... 

Verse Riff:

F C Dm7 C F C Dm7 C

e:|-----5--5---------------------------|-----5--5----------------------------|
B:|-----------5--5----6--6--6--6\5--5--|-----------5--5-----6--6--6--6\5--5--|

D:|--3----3----------------------------|--3----3-----------------------------|
A:|----------3----3-3/5--------5\3--3--|-----------3---3--3/5--------5\3--3--|
E:|------------------------------------|-------------------------------------|

Then go into the verse riff, where Anthony & Chad enter. There are some
little fills like slides from
5/8 on the high e, but I'm sure you can figure them out.

Bridge/chorus (...? I dont know what this bit is called)

F C Dm Dm

Play those nifty five bars once, then go back to the intro riff, and
then
the verse riff some more. 

Then John does his little solo... it's a pretty simple solo but I dont
want to type it out now... if you
desperately need it then send me a NICE, FRIENDLY email, and ask
politely
=)

If you dont want to bug me, then just improvise a little in D minor,
it'll
probably sound better
anyway.

That's it, pretty simple. The hardest part is getting the right rhythm
for
the high notes and the bass
notes. The chords are above the bars, and this is how you play them,
dont
just use normal chords
because these barres sound better, or you can fool around with the
CAGED
system if you know
what that is...:

F [xx3565]
C [x3555x]
Dm [x5776x]
Dm7 [x5756x]

If you prefer strumming and chord stuff, I will write the chords above
the
lyrics... but someone has
to help me out with the lyrics some, I cant make much sense of
anthony's
mumbling. =]

Comments & corrections are welcome, but be gentle this is my first tab.
And if you used this tab
could you tell me, I want to get an idea of how many people read these
things...

Good luck,
Wim.

                       Scar tissue that I wish you saw
                       Sarcastic mister know it all
                       Close your eyes and I'll kiss you 'cause
                       With the birds I'll share
                       With the birds I'll share
                       This lonely view
                       With the birds I'll share
                       This lonely view

                       Push me up against the wall
                       Young Kentucky girl in a push-up bra
                       Fallin' all over myself
                       To lick your heart and taste your health 'cause
                       With the birds I'll share
                       This lonely view...

                       Blood loss in a bathroom stall
                       Southern girl with a scarlet drawl
                       Wave good-bye to ma and pa 'cause
                       With the birds I'll share
                       With the birds I'll share
                       This lonely view
                       With the birds I'll share
                       This lonely view

                       Soft spoken with a broken jaw
                       Step outside but not to brawl
                       Autumn's sweet we call it fall
                       I'll make it to the moon if I have to crawl and
                       With the birds I'll share
                       This lonely view...

                       Scar tissue that I wish you saw
                       Sarcastic mister know it all
                       Close your eyes and I'll kiss you 'cause
                       With the birds I'll share
                       With the birds I'll share
                       This lonely view
                       With the birds I'll share
