Purple Stain - Red Hot Chili Peppers
Purple stain kicks ass! When I first listened to this album a week or so ago,
this song immediately became my favourite. And guess what? I'm listening
to it now. :)
I think it might actually fall in second favourite after road trippin', but
hey, my favourites always fluctuate...
it's so funky and smooth! sounds right of freaky styley...
I love the way flea's slide continues on from John's, to make it like one
big slide. They sort of did that in stone cold bush, john is in the
solo, and scales down until the notes on the guitar can't go lower,
and then flea continues on from their, goes lower, and starts
slappin' around... :)
Anyway, the tab. I tried the bass a bit too.
key:
5/7 slide up
7\5 slide down
(5) ghost note; you dont strike it; let it ring
5~ ~ tremolo/vibrato (wiggle your finger :)

Lyrics:
To finger paint is not a sin
I put my middle finger in
Your monthly blood is what I win
I'm in your house now let me spin
Python power straight from Monty
Celluloid loves got a John Frusciante
Spread your head and spread the blanket
She's too free and I'm the patient
Black and white a red and blue
Things that look good on you
And if I scream don't let me go
A purple stain ˜ I know
Knock on wood we all stay good
'Cause we all live in Hollywood
With Dracula and Darla Hood
Unspoken words were understood
Up to my ass in alligators
Let's get it on with the alligator haters
Did what you did ÷ did what you said
What's the point yo what's the spread
Black and white a red and blue
Things that look good on you
And if I scream don't let me go
A purple stain - I know
And if I call for you to stay
Come hit the funk on your way
It's way out there but I don't care
'Cause this is where - I go
Knock on wood we all stay good
'Cause we all live in Hollywood
With Dracula and Darla Hood
Unspoken words were understood
It's way out there
But I don't care
'Cause this is what
I want to wear
Knock on wood we all stay good
'Cause we all live in Hollywood
To finger paint is not a sin
I put my middle finger in
Your monthly blood is what I win
I'm in your house now let me spin
Feather light but you can't move this
Farley is an angel and I can prove this
Purple is a stain upon my pillow
Let's Sleep weeping willow
Black and white a red and blue
Things that look good on you
And if I scream don't let me go
A purple stain ˜ I know
And if I call for you to stay
Come hit the funk on your way
It's way out there but I don't care
'Cause this is where ÷ I go
Knock on wood we all stay good
'Cause we all live in Hollywood
With Dracula and Darla Hood
Unspoken words were understood
It's way out there
But I don't care
'Cause this is what
I want to wear
Knock on wood we all stay good
'Cause we all live in Hollywood
