"Loss" By
John Frusciante
from "The Will To Death"
This is a correction from the other one, with the right chords.
Tuning: Guitar Standard
(E A D G b E)
->Intro:
A E C#m C7 F#m 4x
->Verse:
A E
We make the music that divides you
C#m C7 F#m
It's handed down as a thing to cry to
A E
And all my wars they treat you kindly
C#m C7 F#m
There's nothing more important that I see
A E
There was a time when all was empty
C#m C7 F#m
Unorganized a clog a death scene
A E
Things opened up and there's so many
C#m C7 F#m
Paths to walk ports of entry
->Chorus:
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/j/john_frusciante/loss_crd_ver_2.html ]
E F#m
Now that I'm gone
E F#m
Now that I'm long gone
E F#m
This minute has come and gone
b F#m A E
I never said to do anything but forget me
E F#m
I can't be lost
E F#m
I've learned everything from loss
E F#m
For what's gained there's an inner cost
D A E Bm
I wont pay it I never would
->Verse:
We met the seasons back in Long Town
There was a hint of sadness going round
We met the brothers who drove arrows
And shot assumptions wide and narrow
I know I mean what I'm forgetting
We give for everything we're getting
A lot that hasn't been put away
It's building up for that fateful someday
->Chorus:
Now that I'm gone
Now that I'm long gone
This minute has come and gone
I never said to do anything but forget me
When it seems I'm around
Check again what's up and what's down
Many silences make a sound
I'm before the equation and I'm the answer
->Bridge and solo:
(short) (short) (long) (long) (short) (short)
A E Bm A E D
*Note: I put the chords above the words to give an example when John strum it in the song.
You can hear that he changes chords when he likes to, so it's really PITA to write it
all down. You'll get it right eventually.
At bridge and solo section, in brackets are duration of chords
