Title: Scar Tissue
Artist: Red Hot Chili Peppers
Album:Californication

Key: 5/7 slide up 7\5 slide down (5) ghost note (dont pluck it, let it ring from last time) 7p5 pull off
Intro Riff:
F C Dm C F C Dm e:|-----5--5---------------------------|-----5--5----------------------------------| B:|-----------5--5--5/6--6--6--6\5--5--|-----------5--5--5/6--6-(6)-8p6--8p6--5/6--| G:|------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------| D:|--3----3----------------------------|--3----------------------------------------| A:|----------3--3---3/5--------5\3--3--|------------3----3/5-----------------------| E:|------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------|

Play this intro riff once...
Verse Riff:
F C Dm7 C F C Dm7 C e:|-----5--5---------------------------|-----5--5----------------------------| B:|-----------5--5----6--6--6--6\5--5--|-----------5--5-----6--6--6--6\5--5--| G:|------------------------------------|-------------------------------------| D:|--3----3----------------------------|--3----3-----------------------------| A:|----------3----3-3/5--------5\3--3--|-----------3---3--3/5--------5\3--3--| E:|------------------------------------|-------------------------------------|

Then go into the verse riff, where Anthony & Chad enter. There are some little fills like slides from 5/8 on the high e, but I'm sure you can figure them out.

Bridge/chorusy bit:
F C Dm Dm e:|-----5--5--------------------------|--------------------------| B:|--------------5--5-(5)/6--6-----6--|-----6-----6--6--6--6--6--| G:|-----------------------------------|--------------------------| D:|--3-----3--------------------------|--------------------------| A:|-----------3-(3)-3---3/5-(5)-8--5--|--5-----5-------5---5-----| E:|-----------------------------------|--------------------------|
Dm Dm e:|----------------------------|----------------------------| B:|-----6-----6--6--6--6/8--8--|-----6-----6--6--6--6p5--6--| G:|----------------------------|----------------------------| D:|----------------------------|----------------------------| A:|--5-----5-------5---5-------|--5-----5-------5--------5--| E:|----------------------------|----------------------------|
Dm e:|----------------------------| B:|-----6-----6--6--6--6/8-(8)-| G:|----------------------------| D:|----------------------------| A:|--5-----5-------5---5----8--| E:|----------------------------|

Play those nifty five bars once, then go back to the intro riff, and then the verse riff some more. dont just use normal chords because these barres sound better, or you can fool around with the CAGED system if you know what that is...:
F [xx3565] C [x3555x] Dm [x5776x] Dm7 [x5756x]
If you prefer strumming and chord stuff, I will write the chords above the lyrics...
