Otherside-Bass

Band: Red hot chili peppers Album: Californication Tabbed by: Paul Simpson (paul_the_bass_guy@hotmail.com) I think other tabs have been in wrong octaves. I believe that I am in the right octave, it sounds right to me, but it's hard because it goes from one to the other in the verses. I also put in most variations. I couldn't be bothered to write down all the strings so I only wrote down the ones used in each line. Key: / = slide up \ = slide down | = very quick slide up _ |.| = Pause (let the note ring until it dies) INTRO: A--0---0-0--------------3-3-3-3-------- E----------3--1---1-1-1---------3--3-3- How
