Intro & Verses & Bridge

End of Verse

G ------------------------------------------------
D ------------------------------------------------
A 3--3--3--3--------------------------5--5--5--5--
E ------------3--3--3--3--1--1--1--1--------------

Pre-Chorus
G ----------------------------
D ------------4-5-------------
A 7--7--7--7------3--3--3--3--
E ----------------------------
The end is bit tricky, but in fact Flea never plays this part same
and same again. Here's some fills he plays:

G ------#------#------
D 5-4-2-#5-4-5-#77754-
A ------#------#------
E ------#------#------

At the very end of the bridge he plays this fill (very fast indeed):
G -----------------
D -----------------
A 12-12-12-12-12-12
E -----------------

Chorus                    *
G ------------------------------------------------
D ------------------------------------------------
A 3--3--3--3--------------5--5--5--5--------------
E ------------3--3--3--3--------------5--5--5--5--

When the chorus ends simply make fade out (I marked that place with *)

Solo
G ------------------------------------------------
D ------------------------------------------------
A 7--7--7--7--7--7--7--7--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--
E ------------------------------------------------

G ------7-----------9-----------7-----------5-----
D ---7-----------9-----------7-----------5--------
A 5--------5--7--------7--5--------5--3--------3--
E ------------------------------------------------
