Breaking The Girl tab by Red Hot Chili Peppers

Guitar Tab 

Author/Artist: Red Hot Chili Peppers
Title: Breaking The Girl
Words and Music by Anthony Kiedis, Michael
              Balzary, John Frusciante and



This is the best transcription of this song you'll find
on the 'net. This is close to how Frusciante plays it -
especially the Chorus. 12-string acoustic, tuned down
a half-step. No Capo. And most importantly: hit the
strings as hard as humanly possible.
