   x   -> mute.
   \   -> slide up.    \   It can be after or before the note, 
like 1h3,

	The ending sounds like a ercital from some sort of uber sacred text! T'is a good way to bring the album to a close methinks

No Picture Jelly Wanna Be	#2 by Jelly F at Aug 22, 2006 at 5:14 PM EST
	I simply love this song..... Have no words to describe it... Thank you Chili Peppers...

No Picture DrieZ Average	#3 by DrieZ J at Sep 29, 2006 at 10:09 AM EST
	What a beautiful ode to a loyal girl. Some lines really get my dog-owning heart: "The nova is over She caught the ball By the mission bell Chase lizards bark at donkeys" As well as the entire sermon at the end, which I'm sure is accounting their personal experiences together. "bottlenosed grifters" lol That's poetry, folks!

	Nova is also a Native American name for Butterfly Chaser.. maybe that has something to with it..all in all this is an awesome song
