californication3.tabSong: Californication Artist: Red Hot Chili Peppers Album: Californication Transcribed by Clint K (IM: Golem1057) This songs pretty easy.... 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...)
