Red Hot Chili Peppers - Get On Top
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tabbed by: Anthony C (rhcp_guitarist at Ultimate Guitar)

This is one of the first tabs I did, when I was still learning, so I have updated the interlude chords.
As the comments will tell you the old ones sounded wrong. These new ones are correct but they are in
open position. John plays these in inversions up the neck although another version of this song has these
correct. Updated the solo too!

Tuning: standard (low to high - eadgbe)
Intro/Verse...w/ distorted wah wah pedal
e|------------------------------------|
B|------------------------------------|
G|------------------------------------|
D|--------5555----------5555----------|
A|-7-7-------------7-7----------------|
E|------------------------------------|
Just put in the wah-wah timing yourself....its very
straight forward, just a few wahs to each note.
Repeat this riff Until the chorus.

Chorus...Clean

Play this 4 and a half times, then play:
