Play those nifty five bars once, then go back to the intro riff, and
then
the verse riff some more.
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/r/red_hot_chili_peppers/scar_tissue_tab.html ]
Then John does his little solo... it's a pretty simple solo but I dont
want to type it out now... if you
desperately need it then send me a NICE, FRIENDLY email, and ask
politely
=)
If you dont want to bug me, then just improvise a little in D minor,
it'll
probably sound better
anyway.
That's it, pretty simple. The hardest part is getting the right rhythm
for
the high notes and the bass
notes. The chords are above the bars, and this is how you play them,
dont
just use normal chords
because these barres sound better, or you can fool around with the
CAGED
system if you know
what that is...:
F [xx3565]
C [x3555x]
Dm [x5776x]
Dm7 [x5756x]
If you prefer strumming and chord stuff, I will write the chords above
the
lyrics... but someone has
to help me out with the lyrics some, I cant make much sense of
anthony's
mumbling. =]
Comments & corrections are welcome, but be gentle this is my first tab.
And if you used this tab
could you tell me, I want to get an idea of how many people read these
things...
Good luck,
Wim.

lyrics
Scar tissue that I wish you saw
Sarcastic mister know it all
Close your eyes and I'll kiss you ’cause
With the birds I’ll share
With the birds I’ll share
This lonely view
With the birds I’ll share
This lonely view
Push me up against the wall
Young Kentucky girl in a push-up bra
Fallin’ all over myself
To lick your heart and taste your health ’cause
With the birds I’ll share
This lonely view...
Blood loss in a bathroom stall
Southern girl with a scarlet drawl
Wave good-bye to ma and pa ’cause
With the birds I’ll share
With the birds I’ll share
This lonely view
With the birds I’ll share
This lonely view
Soft spoken with a broken jaw
Step outside but not to brawl
Autumn’s sweet we call it fall
I’ll make it to the moon if I have to crawl and
With the birds I’ll share
This lonely view...
Scar tissue that I wish you saw
Sarcastic mister know it all
Close your eyes and I’ll kiss you ’cause
With the birds I’ll share
With the birds I’ll share
This lonely view
With the birds I’ll share
