RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS - "I Like Dirt" Tablature

Official RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS Tablature & Sheet Music »

------------------------------------------------------------
Artist: Red Hot Chili Peppers
Title: I like dirt
Release: Californication
Written by: Anthony Kiedis, John Frusciante, Flea, Chad
Smith
Performed by: Red Hot Chili Peppers
Tabbed by: F.S.*You know who*
Tuning: Standard (EADGBe)
------------------------------------------------------------

Nobody tabbed this song so I had to do this work. I like
dirt is probably the funkiest song on Californication
along with Purple Stain (I also tabbed this; it´s coming
soon) and Get on top . E – mail me corrections to:
flooos@gmx.net
But I think this tab is very close. Enjoy!

3rd verse: *** One of the verse riffs is resumed


Chorus Bridge 4 times



Solo:

This is my attempt for the solo (you need to find out the
Timing, sometimes there are bigger brakes between the
Notes than in this tab):

e-------------------------------------------------------
B----------------------------------------9-7---9---9b---
G--------------5-----5-7b—-7575757/---/9-----9----------
D-----5-7-7------7--------------------------------------
A--/7---------------------------------------------------
E-------------------------------------------------------

e-----------------------------------|-----------------------
B-----------------------------------|-----7-10-7----7-10-7--
G---------------7-7-------------9b--|--9b--------9b---------
D--9-9-9-9-9----------9-9-9-9-------|-----------------------
A-----------------------------------|-----------------------
E-----------------------------------|-----------------------

When this part is
Perhaps play some parts twice played Anthony starts
singing and a second
guitar plays a chorus
riff.

e-----------------------------------------
B--------7-10-7----7-10-7-10-7----7-10b---
G—-9b-9b--------9b-------------9b---------
D-----------------------------------------
A-----------------------------------------
E-----------------------------------------



Outro:

e--x-x-7---x-x-7---x-x-7--x--x-x-7---x-7-x--x--x-7-x--
B-----------------------------------------------------
G-----------------------------------------------------
D-----------------------------------------------------
A-----------------------------------------------------
E-----------------------------------------------------

e--x-x-7-x--x-x-7-x--7-x-----
B----------------------------
G----------------------------
D----------------------------
A----------------------------
E----------------------------





*** Alternative verse:

Instead of the hard verse riffs you can also use my
variation that also sounds like Frusciante´s verse
riff:

e--x-x-7-7-x-7-x-7-7—(x)---------
B--x-x-7-7-x-7-x-7-7—(x)---------
G--x-x-7-7-x-7-x-7-7-(x)--------- repeat quite often
D--------------------------------

I hope you like. You will have to improve a bit to make the
Solo as long as it´s really played, but with the variations
and the different chorus riffs you can try new solutions,
when you don´t like my version of the song. You want more
tabs? Take a look on my other Peppers tabs: Don´t forget
me, Dosed , Purple Stain ...
