Not a great song to tab because the guitar isn't as sick now that John left.
But me and my bros are learning this song so we can cover it and I thought I
might help out any other guitarists that were hoping to do the same.

Here is the youtube link if you want to see my brothers and I perform this song...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovdIjyyDh2U

Also, some parts are hard to make out because of the mix (and my laptop is
pretty stuffed) but I did my best, not too sure about the chorus guitar but
if you have a better idea please feel free to post corrections and stuff.

Happy learning from your fellow RHCP lovin' guitarist.

[Chorus]

I can't hear all of the chords, but I recognise a few of them, play these chords
and you'll get away with it. It sounds pretty RHCP anyway.

D|----------------------------------------------------------------------|x2 2nd time
A|----------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|----------------------------------------------------------------------|
^This whole section has a tonne of chorus and reverb type stuff on it.
You could do a lot of sliding or even whammy bar usage to get a sound
more like the recording (on top of a heap of chorus).

[Verse 3]
[Chorus 3]


[Outro/Solo]

This whole section has a lot of tremolo effects on it, if you've got a delay
pedal just turn up the repeats a lot, I think it has a bit of the 'phase'
effect as well, not too sure tho.

If you don't have any pedals you could get away with just picking each note
a few extra times.
