Otherside by Red Hot Chili Peppers chord (text):

Otherside - Red Hot Chili Peppers



This is a quite easy song; I saw a request for it and answered, but it seemed

strange to me the song couldn\'t be found in the archive. So I looked for it

and found 5 or 6 versions, all very similar, some with wrong notes, and all

incomplete - here\'s my version, hopefully a bit better:

lyrics & chords

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^



Am F C G



Am                  F           C

	How long how long will I slide

       G          Am F    C

	Separate my side I don\'t

         G                 Am   F

	I don\'t believe it\'s bad

       C                    G

	Slit my throat, it\'s all I ever





Am                                  Em

	I heard your voice through a photograph

Am                        Em

	I thought it up it brought up the past

Am                           Em

	Once you know you can never go back

                   G             Am

	I\'ve got to take it on the otherside





	Centuries are what it meant to me

	A cemetery where I marry the sea

	Stranger things could never change my mind

	I\'ve got to take it on the otherside

G                     Am

	Take it on the otherside

       G           Am

	Take it on, take it on

	



	How long how long will I slide

	Separate my side I don\'t

	I don\'t believe it\'s bad

	Slit my throat, it\'s all I ever





	Pour my life into a paper cup

	The ashtray\'s full and I\'m spilling my guts

	She wants to know am I still a slut

	I\'ve got to take it on the otherside





	Scarlet starlet and she\'s in my bed

	A candidate for my soul mate bled

	Push the trigger and pull the thread

	I\'ve got to take it on the otherside

	Take it on the otherside

	Take it on, take it on





	How long how long will I slide

	Separate my side I don\'t

	I don\'t believe it\'s bad

	Slit my throat, it\'s all I ever



Em C Em C



Em

	Turn me on take me for a hard ride

C

	Burn me out leave me on the otherside

Em

	I yell and tell it that it\'s not my friend

                 C

	I tear it down, I tear it down and then it\'s born again



Am F C G



	How long how long will I slide

	Separate my side I don\'t

	I don\'t believe it\'s bad

	Slit my throat, it\'s all I ever

	How long, I don\'t believe it\'s bad

	Slit my throat it\'s all I ever



Em during the verse works best at 7th fret position (079987)
