Red Hot Chili PeppersGive It Away (Album: Blood Sugar Sex Magik (1991))

Am                                         C                                   

What I’ve got you’ve got to give it to your mamma
What I’ve got you’ve got to give it to your pappa
What I’ve got you’ve got to give it to your daughter
You do a little dance and then you drink a little water
          What I’ve got you’ve got to get it put it in you
          What I’ve got you’ve got to get it put it in you
          What I’ve got you’ve got to get it put it in you
          Reeling with the feeling don’t stop continue
Realize I don’t want to be a miser
Confide with sly you’ll be the wiser
Young blood is the lovin’ upriser
How come everybody wanna keep it like the kaiser
Ch:   Am
          Give it away, give it away, give it away, give it away now (x 3)
          I can’t tell if I’m a kingpin or a pauper


Greedy little people in a sea of distress
Keep your more to receive your less
Unimpressed by material excess
Love is free love me say hell yes
          I’m a low brow but I rock a little know how
          No time for the piggies or the hoosegow
          Get smart get down with the pow wow
          Never been a better time than right now
Bob Marley poet and a prophet
Bob Marley taught me how to off it
Bob Marley walkin’ like he talk it
Goodness me can’t you see I’m gonna cough it  (chorus)

Lucky me swimmin’ in my ability
Dancin’ down on life with agility
Come and drink it up from my fertility
Blessed with a bucket of lucky mobility
          My mom I love her ’cause she love me
          Long gone are the times when she scrub me
          Feelin’ good my brother gonna hug me
          Drink my juice young love chug-a-lug me
There’s a river born to be a giver
Keep you warm won’t let you shiver
His heart is never gonna wither
Come on everybody time to deliver  (chorus)(repeat first verse),   (chorus)

Ending:     Am    D C# C   

                    give it away now (x8)
