"Breaking the Girl" by Red Hot Chili Peppers

from the 1992 album 'Bloodsugarsexmagik'
Here's a slightly older chili peppers tab that I corrected from another source. This is kinda tricky cuz it's not in an easy key, & you gotta work it up to speed. Learning the G#/Ab minor scale first helps, work out slowly, & then speed up gradually. Enjoy. Oh, & if the lines don't line up for you, blame it on geocities html.
