I think im one of the first to tab this song fully.. ive seen a tab for it, but it doesnt sound right...
This is a very different song for the chili peppers... has a very flamenco vibe to it.


			>>>>>>Capo at fret 7!!!<<<<<<

In the new Guitar World, with RHCP on the front, John and Flea say they used capos on this song, which is how i know it is capoed... i used trial and error to find a comfortable key signature to play the song is, and since G is the most comfortable to me, i did it like this... 
All notes are relative to capo!
Listen to the song for timing!
Enough of me talking, let's get to the tab!
