I Could Die For You Tab

Red Hot Chili Peppers
I Could Die For You
From the album By the Way
Tabbed by Callum Dickson
 
This is the next single and its a kick ass song. Its basically chords all the way through. John plays the
in the second line of the chorus differently almost every time but I've only tabbed the basic fill. The
Peppers rock.
 
Verse 1:
A (G#5)  F#m
         Something inside
A
the cards I know is right
F#m              A
Don't wanna live somebody elses life
F#m
This is what I want to be
A
And this is what I give to you because I get it free
F#m                A
She smiles while I do my time
 
Chorus 1:
C#m     E       B   F#m(v2)
I could die for you
C#m     E      (Fill)
Oh this life I choose
 
Fill:
E----------------------------|
B----------------------------|
G---7--9--7--9--7--7h9p7-----|
D---7--9--7--9--7--------9---|

Verse 2:
A (G#5) F#m                   A
        I'm here to be you're only go between
F#m                A
To tell you of the sights these eyes have seen
F#m                         A
What I really want to do is turn it into motion
                          F#m             A
Beauty that I can't abuse you know that I use my senses too
F#m(v3)              A
You can see that its only everywhere
F#m(v3)                     A
I take it all then I find a way to share
 
Pre chorus:
E-----------------------------------|
B-----------------------------------|
G---7--9--7--9--7-----6-----6---6---|
D---7--9--7--9--7-----4-----4---4---|
A---0-----0-----0-----4-----4---4---|
E-----------------------------------|
 Come along and go...along with me
 
 Wander with me yo...its all for free
 
Chorus 2 (play twice):
C#m     E       B   F#m(v2)
I could die for you whatchu wanna do
C#m     E        (Fill)
Oh this life I choose
 
Bridge:
E
Come again and tell me where you want to go
F#m(v2)
What it means for me to be with you alone
E
Close the door and noone has to know
B      C#m
How we are
 
Then repeat the pre chorus and play the chorus four times.
