This is the best transcription of this song you'll find on the 'net. This is close
to how Frusciante plays it - especially the Chorus. 12-string acoustic, tuned down
a half-step. No Capo. And most importantly: hit the strings as hard as humanly possible.

VERSE 1:

Hi, this is my first tab, and I have noticed on the net that there is no other
version (at least to my knowledge and I have looked around)of this phenomenal
and beautiful song on the net except with the capo on the 4th fret. What about
us people who don't have a capo? I think there is a great number of us on the net,
and I have tried to help them and myself in tabbing this great song.

Okay firstly i have to say that i just created an account on this page to tab this song 
because all the other tabs aren't even close to the chords john plays ^^

Dealing with a John Fru-Chili Song, i suggest you to play it thumb-based.
(look it up on any youtube-john-vid, he plays the E-String with his thumb)
It will be much easier for you to play it (after you learned how to play thumb-based - 
quite diffucilt :D) and of course it sounds a lot more like the original and thats 
what we want to achieve :)

So here it is:
