------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed By: Kelly L E-mail: [email protected] This song is off of RHCP's newest album I'm With You, and being what I believe to be the toughest song on the album, I thought I would tab it out for you UG'ers to learn. (Plus there's a bass solo too!) It's tough to tell when Flea is playing a muted note, especially in the intro so if there are some missing please let me know. Also let me know if the fills are incorrect because they can be tough to hear in this song anyways. If in doubt, play your own! :) Intro:
