Red Hot Chili Peppers - This Velvet Glove from Californication
This is the correct version. Comments JesusPnkr@aol.com

Song calls for two guitars, Gtr 1 is the rhythm, I put the chords over the notes so you can play them in time. Gtr 2 plays the lead

/ - slide
Chords - Dm-x00231  C-x32010  Bb-x1333x  Am-x02210   Am/C-xxx555  Am(add9)/C-xxx557  Am11/C-xx(10)9(10)(10)  Am/C(IX)-xx(10)9(10)(11)

Gtr 1  plays Dm-C-Bb through to the chorus

   with   some   one     to tell   I    love your    smell
That's it, its a lot
Here are the lyrics

1. Close to my skin, I'm falling in someone who's been
Sittin' by the phone, I'm a left alone in another zone
John says to live above hell and my will is well
No one is waiting for me to fail and my will could sail, yeah
2. It's such a waste to be wasted in the first place
I want to taste the taste of being face to face with common grace
To meditate on the warmest dream and when I walk alone I listen to our secret theme
Chorus: Your solar eyes are like nothing I have ever seen
Somebody close that can see right through
I'd take a fall and you know that I'd do anything, I will for you
3. Sailin' for the sun, 'cause there is one who knows where I'm from
I care for you, I really do, I really do
Come closer now so you can lie right by side
Sit alone in the sun, I wrote a letter to you getting over myself
4. Close to my skin someone who's been I'm a falling in
Disaster's are just another star falling in my yard
John says to live above hell and my will is well
