John Frusciante - The Past Recedes
Tabbed by Berney
[Intro]
G D Am Em
G D Am Em
G D Am Em
G D Am
[Verse 1]
G D Am Em
And then the past recedes
G D Am Em
And I won't be involved
G D Am Em
The effort to be free
G D Am
Seems pointless from above
G D Am Em
You're looking down at me
G D Am Em
I'd rather stay below
G D Am Em
Than have you staring up at me
G D Am B7
There's nowhere I want to gooo oooh
[Chorus]
C D#dim Em D
Ay, this business of how long we try to stay alive
C D#dim Em
Why to be here you've first got to die
D
So I gave it a try
C G/B
And what do you know
Am B7
Time was so long ago
[Verse 2]
G D Am Em
And things come back you see
G D Am Em
To where they don't belong
G D Am Em
And every drop of sea
G D Am B7
Is the whole ocean ooooohh
[Chorus]
C D#dim
I lied to the greatest thieves
Em D
About anything and everything
C D#dim Em
I'm a figure of forgotten speech
D
I'm out of reach
C G/B
I can't play it safe
Am B7
But I might just in case
[Solo]

[Chorus]
C D#dim Em
I'm disguised as a reaching hand
D
I'm working man
C D#dim
I don't understand why clockout
Em D
Comes so slow every time
C G/B Am
That's one line I stay right behind
C G/B Am B7
That's one line I stay right behind

it is a B7 then he plays it with a G on the high e string aswell, making it a B7+5 chord.
Also in the chorus i dont think he plays a D7. i think it is a Ebdim7, which is like a D7 with an Eb as the bass note, not D.

no the chords are right, and this is the solo exactly as john plays it:
