The songbook has the complete tab for guitar and bass and seems to be of very high quality -- very detailed. Hopefully you will gain a greater appreciation of John Frusciante's guitar work from it. Some of the earlier stuff I posted from it was strictly from my memory, so was wrong in places. I will be correcting those bits as well. PLEASE NOTE: I will take requests for other bits of it, as well as lyrics, but I will only respond to those personages who are actually posting tab on a fairly regular basis. The ratio of tab requests to actual tab has been pretty pathetic lately, no? Another note: To assuage my guilty conscience about posting copy- righted material (and possibly taking money out of the pockets of one of my favorite bands), let me give the address of the company who makes it: Amsco Publications Music Sales Corporation 225 Park Avenue South New York, NY 10003 I would certainly encourage any of you to pick up a copy if you get the chance. And now, on to the music: ------------------------------------------------------------------ BREAKING THE GIRL Somebody (Big Toe?) was right: this song is listed as "capoed on the 4th fret". That's really the only way to get the intonations in the right key. -0-0-0-|-----0-0-0-0-|-0-0-0-|-----0-0-0-0-|-0-0-0-|- -0-0-0-|-----0-0-0-0-|-0-0-0-|-----0-0-0-0-|-0-0-0-|- -1-1-1-|-----1-1-1-1-|-3-4-4-|-----4-4-4-4-|-6-6-6-|- -2-2-2-|-----2-2-2-2-|-4-5-5-|-----5-5-5-5-|-7-7-7-|- -2-2-2-|-----2-2-2-2-|-4-5-5-|-----5-5-5-5-|-7-7-7-|- -0-0-0-|-4\0-0-0-0-0-|-0-0-0-|-6\0-0-0-0-0-|-0-0-0-|- -----0-0-0-0-|-0-----|---------| -----0-0-0-0-|-0-9-9-|-9-9-9-9-| -----6-6-6-6-|-8-9-9-|-9-9-9-9-| -----7-7-7-7-|-9-9-9-|-9-9-9-9-| -----7-7-7-7-|-9-7-7-|-7-7-7-7-| -8\0-0-0-0-0-|-0-0-0-|-0-0-0-0-| and repeat that for the verses. (Chords for bridge and chorus may follow later). Here are lyrics: I am a man cut from the know Rarely do friends come and then go She was a girl soft but estranged We were the two our lives rearranged Feeling so good that day A feeling of love that day CHORUS Twisting and turning your feelings are burning You're Breaking The Girl She meant you no harm Think you're so clever but now you must sever You're Breaking The Girl He loves no one else Verse 2: Raised by my dad, girl of the day. He was my dad, that was the way. She was a girl left alone Feeling the need to make me her home. I don't know what or why the twilight of love had arrived ----- Mark Schnitzius University of Central Florida schnitzi@eola.cs.ucf.edu Date: Thu, 21 Nov 1996 10:28:09 +0100 (MET) From: Ony Linden Subject: TAB: Breaking the girl by Red hot chili peppers Hello... First of all, I like to thank Mark Schnitzius for the excellent start (I could never had made it without your excellent first chords) I played it and after hours and hours of playing I figured it out. The continuing chords after the verse is: (I assume that you play it without a capo, in E-major that is) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- pre-chorus (I dont care about printing strikes and timing, im sure you can figure that part out by yourself...) feeling so good, that day.... --0---3---2---0-- 0---3---2---0-- --0---3---3---0--- 0---3---3---1--- --1---0---2---1---- 1---0---2---0---- --2---0---0---2----- 2---0---0---2----- --2---2---0---2------ 2---2---0---3------ --0---3---2---0------- 0---3---2---x------- Twisting and turning.... --0--2--3--0--x--x--x--x---0--2--3--0--0- --0--3--3--1--4--4--4--4---0--3--3--1--1-- --1--2--0--2--4--4--4--4---1--2--0--2--0--- --2--0--0--2--4--4--4--4---2--0--0--2--2---- --2--0--2--0--2--0--x--x---2--0--2--0--3----- --0--2--3--x--x--x--3--2---0--2--3--x--x------ Im not sure about the break part, but i think it something like: --0----0-0-0- --0----0-0-0-- --1----4-4-4--- --2----5-5-5---- --2----5-5-5----- --0----0-0-0------ Well, something with G...dont know exactly... thats all folks, i hope u get the idea of it...
