I Could Have Lied By: David Harrison (blaze@interlog.com) w/correction by James Harding (insperatus@home.com) Song: "I Could Have Lied" by "RHCP" Album: "Blood Sugar Sex Magik" (1991) This is, in my opinion, one of the best songs the Chili Peppers have ever made. It's not very hard to play but you might need to practice the solo's for a while before you're able to play them well without having to look at the tab sheet.
