Bass tabs
Walkabout by Red Hot Chili Peppers Well I've got the *basic* bass parts outlined here. I've tried to format the tab to follow the song, but this is a very highly adlibed song both on flea's part as well as dave navarro and even vocally by kiedis. Use this as just a guideline to how to play it and enjoy! *Intro G:------------|------------------------------------------| D:-----12-----|--14--12----------------------------------| A:--14----14--|----------10----12b13r12--10h12-----------| E:------------|------------------------------------------| G:------------------------------------| D:--14--12----------------------------| A:----------10--12b13r12-10-----------| E:--------------------------10--------|
