Artist: Red Hot Chili Peppers
Song: Cabron
Album: By The Way
Tabber: Andy K
Notes: Standard Tuning. Capo on the 7th fret. This is most of the song, though in some verses there is definately something
going on up high on the top two strings which I can't quite pick out. Pretty sure that the rest is
close enough to the real thing. Chords - If it says G(D) then your playing a G, but because of the capo
it is a D. This is for people who haven't got a capo and wanna strum along.
Just to let certain people know - it is Cabron (pronounced Kab-roooooooon), not Cabrow. If you don't like the spelling of it - deal with it.

Play this for the chorus (Cabron cabron etc) then twice for the verse. Then:

Play the verse and pre-chorus twice more. The second two times John plays something higher up
Any input on that is very welcome!
On the third time, play the pre-chorus 3 times then back to the main riff and do it all again.
Next comes the slide solo, over the main riff:
|--------------| |-------|
|-12/19--1912-| |-1210-|
|--------------| x4 |-------|
|--------------| |-------|
|--------------| |-------|
|--------------| |-------|
Back into the pre-chorus 3 more times and then a chorus.
Next the verse and chorus with the first part of the slide solo behind them.
Finish on:
B|--12/19---|
