I Could Die For You Ver 2 by Red Hot Chili Peppers

Red Hot Chili Peppers - I Could Die For You ver 2 guitar tab 


Hey I'm back again, tabbing another one of my new favorite songs off of the 
RHCP most recent release, By the Way, so if you haven't pick yourself up a 
copy, what are you waiting for?!? Go buy yhis record NOW!!!!!  Anyway like
I said this is another one of my favorite songs called, I Could Die For You.  
It's a lot more mellow than the last tab I did, Can't Stop, by the way, if you haven't
checked that out and your a self-respecting Chili Peppers fan you'll check it out,
it's probably the best song on the new album, because it keeps to their funk roots
more so than the rest of the album, besides Throw Away Your Television.  So
ready or not here goes another shot at a soon to be Chili Peppers classic.  This 
song is played with a capo on the second fret or Capo II for those who want to
get technical.  You can play this without a capo, but I wouldn't recommend it.
With the Capo the chord changes are much easier giving way to less hand shifting.
I will give the chord shape and the chord name, so those of you without a capo
can try this too, okay.  The chords are as follows:

  G, this is an A	Em, this is an F#m    
e-     3			0	          	  
B-     3			0		
G-     0			0		
D-     0			2		
A-     2			2		
E -    3			0				
  B, this is a C#/Db    Am, this is a Bm
e-    2			0	
B-    4			1
G-    4			2
D-    4			2
A-    2			0
E-    x			x
 D, this is an E   	      C, this is a D    
e-      2			0		
B-      3			1		
G-      2			0		
D-      0			2	
A-      x			3	
E-      x			x			
  Chord Shape 1	     Chord Shape 2
e-	2		0
B-	3		1
G-	2		0
D-	x		x
A-	x		x
E-	x		x
The first chord shape is basically a D, without the bass note.

Intro:

G		(low E bass note 3, 2, 0) 	
For the low E bass note listen to the song, the number
corresponds to the fret relative to the capo.

Verse:

Em	     B
Something inside the cards I know is right

Em	       B		       
Don't want to live somebody elses life

G	            Am 
This is what I wanna be and this is what I give to you because I get it free

G	   Am
She smiles while I do my time

Chorus:

G          D	   Am	Em
Oh I could die for you  *(Whatchya wanna do?)

G       D      Am	 	
Oh this life I choose    **(Makes me wanna say)

The second time around and for the rest of the song, on any Am that isn't
followed by an Em, pull-off and hammer-on the third fret of the e-string while 
playing the Am chord mind you, if you listen closely to the song he does that.
*The part of the chorus that says ,Whatchya wanna do?, is not said in the very 
first chorus that is strictly bass and guitar.  **The part of the chorus that says, 
makes me wanna say, is in the final chorus only!

Riff after chorus:
(Stay in the shape of Am)
e---0-h-3-p-0-h-3-p-0--0----------
B---1---------------------1----------
G---2---------------------2----------
D---2---------------------2----------
A---0---------------------0----------
E---x---------------------x-----------

G		(low E bass note 3, 2, 0)

Verse 2:

Em	    B
I'm here to be your only go-between

Em	   B
To tell you of the sights these eyes have seen

G	          Am 
What I really wanna do is turn it into motion beauty that I can't abuse

G               Am
You know that I use my senses to

B	      G
You can see that it's only everywhere

B	             G
I'd take it all and then I'd find a way to share

Pre-Chorus:

Chord Shape 1
Come along and go

Chord Shape 2
Along with me

CS1
Wander with me yo'

CS2
It's all for free

(Chorus)

B(twice quick)
Come again and tell me where you want to go

Em(twice quick)
What it means for me to be with you alone

B(twice quick)
Close the door and no one has to know

C      D
How we are

(Pre-Chorus)

(Final Chorus and Fade-out with the song)

Ends on Am
