Annie Wants a Baby - RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Brenton Chattin

Tuning: Standard


Another great song from "I'm with You", I've worked out most of it, fun song to play.
Practice that vibrato to really get it sounding good. Also really dig into the G string
while muting the other strings to get the funk sound
The song is really technical rhythmically, so I haven't included the form too much but
these are the parts you need to play along.


Verses: 0:20 With slight improv, repeat as required
