Ok, heres how the song works. The first guitar, which plays only the intro,
has a capo on the second fret. Chord positions are shown above. When guitar
two comes in, give it a tiny bit of a disortion, and no capo. Guitar three
has normal distortion. The intro, verse 1, and the outro are are played
slowly, and verses 2 and 3 are more up to speed. During the verses, keep a
good beat for yourself, Frusciante adds mutes between many of the chords.
Have fun!!

extra notes in there that I couldn't figure out, but the main chords are
good.)
