Lyrics:

My friends are so depressed

I feel the question of your loneliness

Confide 'cause I'll be on your side

You know I will you know I will

Ex-girlfriend called me up

Alone and desperate on the prison phone

They want to give her seven years

For being sad

Chorus:

I love all of you

Hurt by the cold

So hard and lonely too

When you don't know yourself

My friends are so distressed

And standing on the brink of emptiness

No words I know of to express

This emptiness

Chorus

Imagine me taught by tragedy

Release in peace

I heard a little girl

And what she said

Was something beautiful

To give your love

No matter what she said

Red Hot Chili Peppers

Solo from My Friends

Tabbed by Keith Barron

I noticed there were some pretty accurate tabs for "my friends"

but none of them contained the solo. I am tabbing it from memory

but I guarantee its right. If you dont agree then e-mail me

...Then to Bridge...

E, G6, F#7sus4, Fmaj7#11, C, Bsus4, F5............

The end of the song is cool also.

That great distorted guitar comes back into this acoustic

song and probably plays this:

b--10--10--10--10--10--10--10--10--I

g--11--11--11--11--11--11--11--11--I

b--10--10--10--10--10--10--10--10--I

g--12--12--12--12--12--12--12--12--I

b--10--10--10--10--10--10--10--10--I

g--10--10--10--10--10--10--10--10--I

b--10--10--10--10--10--10--10--10--I

g---9---9---9---9---9---9---9---9--I

b--10--10--10--10--10--10--10--10--I

g--11--11--11--11--11--11--11--11--I

b--10--10--10--10--10--10--10--10--I

g--12--12--12--12--12--12--12--12--I

b--10--10--10--10--10--10--10--10--I

g--10--10--10--10--10--10--10--10--I

b--5---5---5---5---5---5---5---5---I

g--5---5---5---5---5---5---5---5---I

These are all sixteenth notes....

....This about all you need but if you

have trouble with the tab you know where

to reach me.

On the solo you bend 13th fret a full step--

--which sounds like 15th fret of course.

And it sounds better if you slide directly to

the next note without hitting it.
