GIVE IT AWAY - RED HOT CHILLI PEPPERS

Ok, someone requested this...
I figured it out from a live bootleg, so it maybe
different from the studio version. It's my first try to
tab something out, perhaps it's still useful.
Listen to the song to get the rhythm...

Intro:

G|----------------------|
D|----5/7---------------|
A|---------5------------|
E|--0--------0-3--------|


Verse (main part):

G|-----7/12------------------7/12---------------7/12-----------------7/12---|
D|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|-5-----------0^8-0^8---5------------0^8---5----------0^8-0^8---5----------|

Slap E-string notes. Repeat this line 2x with little fills
at the end, e.g.

Fills: or: Then once more verse line, and
G|-12-14-12-17-12-14-| G|-------------|
D|-------------------| D|-------0-2-0-|
A|-------------------| A|---0-3-------|
E|-------------------| E|-3-----------|

Refrain:

G|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|-5--------0^5--------0^5--------0^5---------------------------------------|

Again verse with fills like:

G|------19---17---| |---------------------------------------------------|
D|-19-------------| |-2-------------------------------------------------|
A|----------------| |---5-3-5-3-----------------------------------------|
E|----------------| |---------------------------------------------------|

Then refrain, refrain with drums only.
THen comes the solo part:

G|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-----5/10---------------5/10--------------5/10--------------5/10----------|
E|-0---------0^3-0^3--0---------0^3-0^3--0--------0^3-0^3--0----------------|

Again with fills at the end:
and: and at the end:
G|-2^4-2^0-2^0-----| |-------------| ----------------------------|
D|-------------2^0-| |-------------| --2^0-----------------------|
A|-----------------| |-----0-2-0---| ------2^0-------------------|
E|-----------------| |-0-3-------3-| ----------3^2-3-4-5---------|

PLay the verse again (the A from the last solo fill as first note), fills are:

G|----------| |-17^14--------------------------------|
D|----------| |-------17^14--------------------------|
A|----5^3---| |-------------17-----------------------|
E|--5-----5-| |--------------------------------------|

progression is: verse, refrain drums only, solo riff 1x,verse

verse fills:

G|----------| |-----12^9----------| |--14--16--17------------|
D|----------| |-12-------12^9-----| |------------------------|
A|----5^3---| |----------------12-| |------------------------|

play verse riff over refrain (piano)

End riff:

G|--------------------------------------|
D|--------------------------------------|
A|--------7-5-------------7-5--------5--|
E|-5-5--0-----8----5-5--0-----8--5-8----|

repeat this riff 4x
