An easy and acoustic song by John Frusciante from the album "Curtains".
I tabbed it listening and watching it in his music video.
Listen to the song for rythmn.
John doesn't keep the same struming every time, he just plays in time.

Intro:
1,2,3,4..
G D Am Em (x3)
G D Am
G D Am Em
And then the past recedes
G D Am Em
And I won’t be involved
G D Am Em
The effort to be free
G D Am
Seems pointless from above
G D Am Em
You’re looking down at me
G D Am Em
I’d rather stay below
G D Am Em
Than have you staring up at me
G D Am B7
It is nowhere I want to go (Oh)
C D#min7 Em D
Ay, this business of how long we try to stay alive
C D#min7 Em D
Why to be here you first got to die, so I gave it a try
C C/B Am B7
And what do you know, time was so long ago...
G D Am Em
And things come back you see
G D Am Em
To where they don’t belong
G D Am Em
And every drop of sea
G D Am B7
Is the whole ocean (Oh)}
C D#min7 Em D
I lied to the greatest thieves about anything and everything
C D#min7 Em D
I’m a figure of forgotten speech, I’m out of reach
C C/B Am B7
I can’t play it safe, but I might just in case...
Solo:

I’m disguised as a reaching hand, I’m a working man
C D#min7 Em D
I don’t understand why clockout come so slow everytime

That’s one line I stay right behind
C C/B Am B7
That’s one line I stay right behind
G D Am Em (x3)
G D Am B7... G
