Otherside Red Hot Chili Peppers
"
This is a quite easy song; I saw a request for it and answered, but it seemed
strange to me the song couldn\'t be found in the archive. So I looked for it
and found 5 or 6 versions, all very similar, some with wrong notes, and all
incomplete - here\'s my version, hopefully a bit better:
lyrics & chords
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
[Am] [F] [C] [G]
[Am] How long how[F] long will I[C] slide
[G] Separate m[Am]y s[F]ide I[C] don\'t
I[G] don\'t believe it[Am]\'s b[F]ad
[C] Slit my throat, it\'[G]s all I ever
[Am] I heard your voice through a[Em] photograph
[Am] I thought it up it[Em] brought up the past
[Am] Once you know you can[Em] never go back
I\'ve got t[G]o take it on t[Am]he otherside
Centuries are what it meant to me
A cemetery where I marry the sea
Stranger things could never change my mind
I\'ve got to take it on the otherside
[G] Take it on the[Am] otherside
[G] Take it on,[Am] take it on
How long how long will I slide
Separate my side I don\'t
I don\'t believe it\'s bad
Slit my throat, it\'s all I ever
Pour my life into a paper cup
The ashtray\'s full and I\'m spilling my guts
She wants to know am I still a sl*t
I\'ve got to take it on the otherside
Scarlet starlet and she\'s in my bed
A candidate for my soul mate bled
Push the trigger and pull the thread
I\'ve got to take it on the otherside
Take it on the otherside
Take it on, take it on
How long how long will I slide
Separate my side I don\'t
I don\'t believe it\'s bad
Slit my throat, it\'s all I ever
[Em] [C] [Em] [C]
[Em] Turn me on take me for a hard ride
[C] Burn me out leave me on the otherside
[Em] I yell and tell it that it\'s not my friend
I tear it[C] down, I tear it down and then it\'s born again
[Am] [F] [C] [G]
How long how long will I slide
Separate my side I don\'t
I don\'t believe it\'s bad
Slit my throat, it\'s all I ever
How long, I don\'t believe it\'s bad
Slit my throat it\'s all I ever
Em during the verse works best at 7th fret position (079987)

Stuff to be added to this tab:
- all the little arpeggio played during the verse, on Am/Em
- the little solo after the bridge
Let me know what you can get out of it
Enjoy!
