Red Hot Chili Peppers – Tangelo chords

[Intro]
Dm Dm(maj7) Dm7 G
 
[Verse 1]
Dm          Bb   
When I'm with you 
F           A
I feel like myself
Dm              Bb       F  
No stranger, the shadow of 
       C
somebody else
Dm        Bb  F          A
When I feel you holding my hand
Dm    Bb       F       
I get touched, ain't this 
     C      Dbdim
life grand
 

[Chorus 1]

        Bb      F        C  
But the form of life is long 
      Dm
never ending
        Bb             F      C    Dbdim
And the smell of your hello I know
        Bb         F     
And the smile of a knife
   C         Dm
is seldom befriending
        Bb             F      C
And the smell of Tangelo I know
 

[Verse 2]
Dm          Bb      F           A
When I'm with you I feel like a king
Dm           Bb         F      C
A life force inside, to do anything
Dm         Bb      F            A
When I’m downtown, I pick up the phone
Dm      Bb      F       C    Dbdim
I hear you, and I’m not alone
 

[Chorus 2]
        Bb      F        
But the form of life 
    C         Dm
is long never ending
        Bb             F      C    Dbdim
And the smell of your hello I know
        Bb         F    
And the smile of a knife 
   C         Dm
is seldom befriending
        Bb             F      C  Em7b5
And the smell of Tangelo I know
 

[Bridge]
      Am          Dm      
But December came strong, 
      Am         Dm
the mending went wrong
         Gm           
And the clothes on the 
C          F
line never dried
         Am         Dm   
And the crows on my hill, 
     Am         Dm
came in for the kill
         Gm           C          Dm
But the dream of this love never dies
 
[Intro]

Dm Dm(maj7) Dm7 G
 
 
[Verse 3]
Dm          Bb  F           A
When I lost you out in that field
Dm         Bb          F         C
My crooked eyes, could hardly conceal
Dm          Bb        F           A
Tell me one time, and bring me my tray
Dm          Bb      F          C
I’ll let it go, and now I must pray. 

Lets pray.
 
[Outro]
Dm Dm(maj7) Dm7 G
