Notes on Under the Bridge:
From the huge 1991 album Blood Sugar Sex Magik, "Under the Bridge" features some rather complex guitar playing from guitarist John Frusciante. Lots to work on here, and probably not for beginners. [MP3/TAB]

E
   This is him
           A         B  A       E A B A
   When I,   when I,    I begin

E                         A     B A
   Call him tied call him taken
E                        A      B
   Call him anything but shaken
   A        E
   Call him wasted call him shaved
            A             B           A
   Call him anything but  shaved
E                       A    B A
   Call that firepile a home

         E
   Don't give away the end
          A
   I come back
                  B  A
   I rush to wait
E                               A
   Where the pavement starts to crack
                 B    A
   I put my foot down

E
   The sidewalk's so hot
A                        B A
   The sidewalk's so hot
E
   Think of all the junk
           A                B   A     E     A
   I could lay my hands on, purify my heart
        B   A           E
   That firepile's your home

   Your baby's running faster
