2nd part of song. Frusciante starts strumming away. Just keep on repeating this bit. Listen to the song to get rhythm right.

Drums kick in with a little fill and then the additional guitar part comes in over the top of the above riff.

        I wrote this bit
        Only once this
        Time but I think
        You have to play	This bit play once. Effectively, the 
		X2	            beginning part is the same followed by 
					A different little riff each time like 
					This one.

In the background there is a faint third guitar right at the very beginning of this second half of the song just after the drum fill. I think it repeats it once more, you have to listen to the record.

B|--3h5-----|

Next bit when they start singing ‘love’. The guitar that plays these chords just keeps repeating them to the very end of the song. If you want to hear how they are played more clearly, just listen to the very end of the song when the guitar is playing just by itself along with the bass, it’s the same riff that is played to the end of the song.

The chords are:

e|-0-|--3-|-0-|-0-|
B|-2-|--3-|-1-|-3-|
G|-2-|--2-|-2-|-2-|
D|-2-|--0-|-3-|-0-|
A|-0-|--x-|-0-|-0-|
E|-0-|--3-|-x-|-x-|


The additional guitar meanwhile, is playing this in the background.
Again, it is quite faint so listen carefully. Every time the above guitar changes chords, the addtnl guitar plays these notes, you can optionally also play them as chords. They both sound very similair.


e|-------|--------|--------|-------|
B|-5-----|--5-----|--5-----|-5-----|
G|---6---|----7---|----5---|---7---|
D|-----7-|------7-|------7-|-----7-|
A|-------|--------|--------|-------|
E|-------|--------|--------|-------|


Towards the end, the third guitar also plays this as they sing ‘your stylish legs and silver hair, a woman of your kind is rare…something something….G L O R I A.

e|-3h5-|-3h5|-8--7—5-|--10-8-10| 

Then as I mentioned main guitar keeps playing its bit accompanied by bass while everything stops and that’s it. 

Joel the monkey. Efe has problems.
