After not being able to locate one of my relatively new favourite
songs on the internet, I decided to take an afternoon out to tab
it. The mordents can be played with or without the acciccaturas,
but generally sounds better with them. Any questions/corrections:
frickinmeh@hotmail.com
Key:
[fret] = acciccatura
h = hammer-on
p = pull-off

The days have turned away from me

The lights no longer shine on my head

And people turn away from me
Bm A Em
No more do they look to me with respect
Chorus
G D A Bm x2
G D
Well I know now
A Bm
It's the first time
G D
That was fun now
A Bm
From life I've resigned
G D A Bm
When I feel I've got problems how wrong I am
G D A Bm
I'm awaiting life as another man
Don't crowd me
G D A Bm
G D A(1)
Verse
Bm A Em
There's riddles in the shadows

They're thrown the way that I'd expect

And people never seem to know

What they least suspect is coming next

Well it seems like times elasped
G D A Bm
And I've stabbed life in the back

I'm searching for what it means

To never be anything anything
G D A Bm(1)
G D A Bm
G D
And I know now
A Bm
It's the first time
G D
That was fun now
A Bm
From life I've resigned

When I feel I've got problems how wrong I am
G D A Bm
I'm awaiting life as another man
G D A Bm(1)
Hey now-ow-ow

| i think its to do with someone who he thinks is bullying him but in spirt form and wants to tell people about it. its knid of hard to see this as a song i see it more of a story never to be finished. he puts himself down allot in it. i think that may be to do with it. its one of those songs to pick up and say thats such a lovely wee song but it aint really is it now. its to do with him not wanting people to think of killing themselves and hes putting it in spirtual form for that reason. | |

| Wow those interpretations are really incoherent to me. To me this is a song about what it feels like in life to be down and out. Everything seems to be going against him, nothing is going the way it should. In a way, denali is right, it is broken away from the rest of the world, because when things are going that poorly for you that is how it seems. This song isnt by "his spirits", it is definitly by JF. In many ways his music is broken from the world, but thats because he has been through more experiences than almost any other human being has in their lifetime. The one thing i love more than anything about JF is how he says he does not regret the time he spent addicted to drugs and living in a state of dispair. To him it was a learning experience and now he is enlightened because of everything he has been through. John Frusicante's lyrics have more meaning than any I've ever heard. 1 | |
