Lyrics:
My friends are so depressed
I feel the question of your loneliness
Confide 'cause I'll be on your side
You know I will you know I will
Ex-girlfriend called me up
Alone and desperate on the prison phone
They want to give her seven years
For being sad
Chorus:
I love all of you
Hurt by the cold
So hard and lonely too
When you don't know yourself
My friends are so distressed
And standing on the brink of emptiness
No words I know of to express
This emptiness
Chorus
Imagine me taught by tragedy
Release in peace
I heard a little girl
And what she said
Was something beautiful
To give your love
No matter what she said

Lyrics:
My friends are so depressed
I feel the question
Of your loneliness
Confide... cause I'll be on your side
You know I will, you know I will
X Girlfriend called me up
Alone and desperate
On the prison phone
They want... to give her 7 years
For being sad
Chorus :
I love all of you
Hurt by the cold
So hard and lonely too
When you don't know yourself
My friends are so distressed
And standing on
The brink of emptiness
No words... I know of to express
This emptiness
Chorus :
Imagine me taught by tragedy
Release is peace
I heard a little girl
And what she said
Was something beautiful
To give... your love
No matter what

Subject: TAB: My Friends by Red Hot Chilly Peppers
I'm not that great a guitar player, but the chorus transcribed on the "My
Friends" tab is all wrong. It should go something like this:
C G Am
I love all of you
C D A
Hurt by the cold
C G Am
So hard and lonely too
C D A
When you don't know yourself
