Artist- John Frusciante
Song- Song to Sing When I’m Lonely
Album- Shadows Collide With People


I typed this up before I realized someone had already posted this 
song, so I’m putting it up anyway. I think Frusciante is the best 
guitarist around and he is a spectacular musician as well. 
I encourage everyone to post more of his solo work. It’s a bit 
rusty because it’s strictly from my memory, but I think, overall, 
it’s pretty accurate. Do enjoy.
Sincerely,
Madman

I neglected to put in one of gtr. 2’s riffs in because I couldn’t 
figure it out. However, it’s a small part of the song, and you can 
come up with your own version. 
Feel free to submit all modifications.

Later, 
Madman across the water.
