Red+Hot+Chili+Peppers - Knock+me+down

Date: Mon, 25 Sep 95 15:52:37 EDT From: Winston Campbell Subject: KNOCK ME DOWN by The Red Hot Chili Peppers I was awed into dismay when I saw no trace of this song on the internet. So I decided to figure it out (guitar-wise). I find that some of the lead guitar lines are difficult to figure out so I have just transcribed the simplest chordal parts of this song. I am not sure that most of the minor chords are sevenths but the song has a cool sound to it and minor sevenths usually do that. So examine this and write back if you find a problem or if you want to discuss how it is possible for an object~s dimension to approach infinity while it~s mass approaches zero while approaching the speed of light. The opening riff is: E ---------------------|-------------------------|---------------------|---| B -------------------6-|-------------------6h8p6-|-------------------6-|---| G -------------------7-|-------------------7-----|-------------------7-|-2-| D -------------------7-|-------------------7-----|-------------------7-|-3-| A -----3--0-7-0-3-5----|-----3--0-7-0-3-5--------|-----3--0-7-0-3-5----|-3-| E -3h5-----------------|-3h5---------------------|-3h5-----------------|-1-| Of course you hold the F chord at the end then the verse appears: Dm Am7 Gm7 Never too soon to ... Dm C Bb Being cool too ... Dm Am7 Gm7 Too much for me, too ... A5 Bb You~re gonna lose ... Em7 Bm7 Am7* Don~t be afraid ... Em7 D C That you hurt ... Em7 Bm7 Pain~s part of ... Am7* Don~t hide behind ... B5 C It~s a lie, ... D5 C5 If you see me ... D5 C5 If you see me ... Am Em Knock me do... Em(?) I~m not bigger ... D5 C5 If you see me ... D5 C5 If you see me .... Am Em Knock me do... Em(?) I~m not bigger ... Dm Am7 Gm7 Dm C Bb Dm Am7 Gm7 I~m tired of .... Dm C Bb I~m not above .... Dm Am7 Gm7 I~m part of you and ... A5 Bb Why did ... Em7 Bm7 Am7* Finding what you~re .... C#m7 G#m7 F#m7 Being such a ... Em7 Bm7 Am7* I pray for you most ... C#m7 G#m7 F#m7 Now fly away D5 C5 If you see me ... D5 C5 If you see me ... Am Em Knock me down Em(?) I~m not bigger ... D5 C5 If you see me ... D5 C5 If you see me ... Am Em Knock me do... Em(?) I~m not bigger ... (very quickly now, the guitar and bass plays: G --------- D --------- When the guitar plays the 6th fret (the Bb note), it also plays A -5p0-7--- a power chord on it and therefore from that note the guitar E -------6- plays a series of chords that go: Bb5 G5 G5/Bb5 F5 C5 Bb5 Cool solo part: A5 F A5 F G5 F A all I just did here was to write down the rhythm chords, I have and will not do the solo (as little as it may seem). If you listen to the album, you can figure out how these chords come in. The G5/Bb5 part is when the guitar slides from G5 to Bb5. Listen and you shall hear, my child. Anyway, the rest goes something like this: D5 C5 If you see me ... D5 C5 If you see me ... Am Em Knock me do... Em(?) I~m not bigger ... D5 C5 If you see me ... D5 C5 If you see me ... Am Em Knock ... Em(?) I~m not ... D5 C5 If you see me ... D5 C5 If you see me ... Am Em Knock me down Em(?) I~m not bigger ... D5 C5 If you see me .... D5 C5 If you see me .... Am Em Knock me down Em(?) I~m not bigger ... F#5 E5 If you see me .... F#5 E5 If you see me ... C#m G#m Knock me down E B I~m not bigger .... F#5 E5 If you see me ... F#5 E5 If you see me ... C#m G#m Knock me down E B I~m not bigger ... C#m E B C#m E B C#m E B It~s so lonely when you don~t .... C#m E B It~s so lonely when you don~t .... Please escuse all the redudancy and other things. I shall explain the chords now and how I play them. Please remember that this is my best estimate of this sad song. If you find any errors or so on could you please email me. Anyway, before explaining every chords, I must explain that the Em(?) chord does not really exist. I am not sure if there is another chord that ends the normal chorus so I presume that the Em chord sustains. So my denoting Em(?) means that I am not sure if it is the Em chord that is playing at that time. And also, my ways of playing these chords are not by gospel. Anyway, here we go: E A D G B E ---------------- Dm x 5 7 7 6 x Am7 5 7 5 5 5 x Gm7 3 5 3 3 3 x C x 3 5 5 5 x Bb x 1 3 3 3 x A5 5 7 7 x x x Em7 0 2 2 4 3 3 <-- a very weird way to play the Em7 chord Bm7 x 2 4 2 3 2 Am7* x 0 2 0 1 0 D x x 0 2 3 2 B5 x 2 4 4 x x D5 x 5 7 7 x x C5 x 3 5 5 x x Am x 0 2 2 1 0 Em 0 2 2 0 0 0 C#m7 x 4 6 4 5 4 G#m7 4 6 4 4 4 x F#m7 2 4 2 2 2 x Bb5 6 7 7 x x x G5 3 5 5 x x x F5 x 8 10 10 x x F 1 3 3 2 x x A 5 7 7 6 x x F#5 x 9 11 11 x x E5 x 7 9 9 x x C#m x 4 6 6 5 4 G#m 4 6 6 4 4 x E 0 2 2 1 0 0 B x 2 4 4 4 x Now that I have wasted countless computer space (and if this is printed out, the trees will die). But I hope this helps out a lot. Bye-bye...
