--------------------------------------------------------------------- BAND/SONG: RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS - "CABRON" (Based on live version from the Johnothan Ross show) ALBUM: "BY THE WAY" (2002) Tabbed by: Richey Slash (sweetchild666@msn.com) Ok, I worked this song out from the Chili Pepper's appearance on the Friday Night show with Johnothan Ross. I'm not sure that it's 100% correct but what the hell, it's close enough, and there ain't any others anywhere on the net. --------------------------------------------------------------------- [TAB] Notes

song is played with a capo on the 7th fret, so this tab is written as if fret 7 were fret 0, (eg. -2- on tab = -9- on guitar). The rhythm isn't printed exactly because, well to be honest, I couldn't be bothered so just listen to the ecording and you'll pick it up.

Key

[verse] I'll come around and make peace, get down have a barbeque Let's keep the moon awake and do electric boogiloo [bridge] I'm small but I'm strong, you see I'm just like you If you only knew, that I'm just like you All the world would take a cue from anything you do If you only knew, that they're just like you [chorus] I don't wanna fight I wanna get along with you, This time of night's for snging songs about the local news Cabron, cabron... Cabron, cabron [solo] (What else can I do, if you want me to, 'Cause I'm just like you, if you only knew) [chorus] Cabron, cabron... Cabron, cabron... Cabron, cabron... Cabron, cabron... [END OF TAB] [NOTES] Just a few notes about the song... on the album version of this song there is a slide guitar solo with some vocals over the top (indicated above by [solo], with lyrics in parenthesis), but on the live version (on the Rossy show) this was replaced by John playing the chorus 4 times with no vocals, followed by the last chorus and then finishing on a G chord. Any corrections/comments/anything else you care to send me is greatly appreciated (richey_slash@msn.com) unless it is totally un-related and/or un-calledfor, in which case it will be printed off, made into paper aeroplanes and used to drop bombs on your house. Peace, love and empathy. Richey Slash.
