       ...I heard your voice through a photograph...





if you hit the open a _very_ softly, it makes a nice tone







Lyrics:



Chorus:

How long how long will I slide

Separate my side I don't

I don't believe it's bad

Slit my throat

It's all I ever 



I heard your voice through a photograph

I thought it up it brought up the past

Once you know you can never go back

I've got to take it on the otherside 



Centuries are what it meant to me

A cemetery where I marry the sea

Stranger things could never change my mind

I've got to take it on the otherside

Take it on the otherside

Take it on

Take it on 



Chorus 



Pour my life into a paper cup

The ashtray's full and I'm spillin' my guts

She wants to know am I still a slut

I've got to take it on the otherside 



Scarlet starlet and she's in my bed

A candidate for my soul mate bled

Push the trigger and pull the thread

I've got to take it on the otherside

Take it on the otherside

Take it on

Take it on 



Chorus 



Turn me on take me for a hard ride

Burn me out leave me on the otherside

I yell and tell it that

It's not my friend

I tear it down I tear it down

And then it's born again 



Chorus 



How long I don't believe it's bad

Slit my throat

It's all I ever

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 

solo, or whatever, then send me or some other transcriber a

_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.  :)
