I have played this song several different ways, and I believe I found = the best

way to play it. Of course, Flea does quick fills, hammer-ons & = pull-offs

that I won't even try to transcribe, but this will get you comfortable

with the song, and you can take it from there.

play above twice

G-----------------7-----------------9-----|

D--------------7-----------7-----9-----9--|

E--7--5--7-----------5--------------------|

play above once, repeat first part, then play above 3x.

Thats pretty much it. Flea has a lot of fills here and there that every

one will improvise to their liking. The solo above is just the base

notes that I use. Each measure is played slightly different, but, of

course, that's the beauty of jamming & improvisation!

Enjoy...
