Artist: Red Hot Chili Peppers
Song: I Could Have Lied


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.

Well, there it is! I hope you think I did a good job but even if you didn't
you can e-mail me with any corrections or additions you have. Thanx!
