GIVE IT AWAY
-Red Hot Chili Peppers-

Lyrics & music: Anthony Kiedis, Flea, John Frusciante, Chad Smith
From the album: Blood Sugar Sex Magik (1991)

Tabbed by Linus Olsson (Linuso@hotmail.com)

This song is one of the Red Hot Chili Peppers' best, and it is also one of their hardest
songs ever to tab. I've seen a lot of different tabs on the net, and none of them are
totally correct. Even this tab is probably wrong on some places. But anyway, here is my
try on the song:

Tab key:

() = ghost
^ = hold note
*b* = bend the note a little to make a short noise
h = hammer on
+ = quickly rub your plectrum up and down on the strings while holding the notes
/ = slide up. left note is starting point, right note is ending point
\ = slide down. left note is starting point, right note is ending point
x = muted string

The Guitar Solos:
=================

As you already may know, the solos in this song are just different guitar loops played
backwards. I have made up two riffs for you which sound much like the CD if you play them.
Use a waah-waah pedal or other effects to get that "blurry" sound.

'X' marks the start of a new measure. There are four beats from one 'X' to another.
'*' is a beat.

First solo:

X * * * X * * *

Play third part with disortion. Repeat this riff until the song ends. The song ends
on an A5 chord (x022xx).

Enjoy!

My name is Francesco Giampiccolo, if you have any question ask me... My e-mail address

This is a great song of the RHCP...
I haven't found a great guitar tab in ultimate-guitar, then I put this tab...

(In second measure, bend two measures; bring it back down until
it hits its original note then strike 10 again. Do this five times
to make up the whole measure, I was too lazy to write it 5 times.)

Play this riff again, and then you play the first half before you go into
the chorus.

Lyrics to sing while playing the riff again:

1)What I've got you've got to get it put it in you.
What I've got you've got to get it put it in you.
What I've got you've got to get it put it in you.
Reeling with the feeling don't stop continue.

Relize I don't want to be a miser,
confide with sly you'll be the wiser.

2)Low brow but I rock a little know how.
No time for the piggies in the hoose-gow.
Get smart get down with the pow wow,
never been a better time than right now.

Bob Marley poet and a prophet,
Bob Marley taught me to off it.

3)My mom I love her cause she love me.
Long gone the times when she scrub me.
Feelin' good my brother gonna hug me.
Drink my juice young love chug-a-lug me.

There's a river born to be a giver.
Keep you warm won't let you shiver.

You should be finished playing figure 1 A by now:
