I added optional bass notes that make it sound better if your playing by yourself. I tabbed out the song the way it goes on the album.... The verses are all the same, I just retabbed them.   I tried to show some of the spacing between notes, but it's far from perfect... so you'll probably have to listen to the song while you play.   (Notes in parentheses are played by the bass.... I think...)   Intro:   E--------------------------------------------- B-----0-1------------------------------------- G-------------------------------0-2----------- D---2-------(2)-(0h2p0)---------------(0)----- A-0---------------------(3)---3-----------(3)- E---------------------------1-----------------   E--------------------------------------------- B-----0-1------------------------------------- G-------------------------------0-2----------- D---2-------(2)-(0h2p0)---------------(3)-(0)- A-0---------------------(3)---3--------------- E---------------------------1-----------------   Verse 1: _ E--------------------------------------------- \ B-----0-1------------------------------------- \ G-------------------------------0-2----------- \ D---2-------(2)-(0h2p0)---------------(0)----- \ A-0---------------------(3)---3-----------(3)- \ E---------------------------1----------------- \ | <== Play 2 times E--------------------------------------------- / B-----0-1------------------------------------- / G-------------------------------0-2----------- / D---2-------(2)-(0h2p0)---------------(3)-(0)- / A-0---------------------(3)---3--------------- / E---------------------------1-----------------_/   E-----0-----------------------1- B-------1-----3---------------3- G---------------------------2--- D---2-----------0-----3---0----- A-3---------2-------3---3------- E---------3-------1-------------   Verse 2: _ E--------------------------------------------- \ B-----0-1------------------------------------- \ G-------------------------------0-2----------- \ D---2-------(2)-(0h2p0)---------------(0)----- \ A-0---------------------(3)---3-----------(3)- \ E---------------------------1----------------- \ | <== Play 2 times E--------------------------------------------- / B-----0-1------------------------------------- / G-------------------------------0-2----------- / D---2-------(2)-(0h2p0)---------------(3)-(0)- / A-0---------------------(3)---3--------------- / E---------------------------1-----------------_/   E-----0-----------------------1- B-------1-----3---------------3- G---------------------------2--- D---2-----------0-----3---0----- A-3---------2-------3---3------- E---------3-------1-------------   PreChorus: (Strumming not shown.) _ Am F?

It sounds nearly perfect to me, execpt I might have an error or 2 in the middle, but it sounds right for the rest of it. As for timing, you'll have to find a recording of the VMA, I didn't really do a lot with it in this tab.     e ----------------------------------------------------------- B -----14-----------------14--------------------------------- G --14------11/13\11---14------11/13\11--11-11-11-11p9------- D ----------------------------------------------------------- A ----------------------------------------------------------- E -----------------------------------------------------------   e --------------------------------------------14-14-14-14---- B ----------------------------------------14----------------- G -9-9-9-9-9-9----------------9-11-11--14-------------------- D -------------11-11-11--9-11-------------------------------- A ----------------------------------------------------------- E -----------------------------------------------------------   e -16-17-16-14-12-14-12----12-------------------------------- B -10-------------------14----14-14-14--14-14-14--14-14-14--- G ----------------------------------------------------------- D ----------------------------------------------------------- A ----------------------------------------------------------- E -----------------------------------------------------------   e ----------------12----------------------------------------- B -14-12-14-12-14----14-14-14--14-14-14--14-14-14------------ G ----------------------------------------------------------- D ----------------------------------------------------------- A ----------------------------------------------------------- E -----------------------------------------------------------   e ----------------12--14-14-14--14-14-14--21-21-21-21-21--21- B -14-12-14-12-14-------------------------------------------- G ----------------------------------------------------------- D ----------------------------------------------------------- A ----------------------------------------------------------- E -----------------------------------------------------------     Return to my Red Hot Chili Peppers tabs page The Tablature is Copyright its respective owners.
