Song:      Californication
Artist:    Red Hot Chili Peppers
Album:     Californication

Transcribed by Clint K (IM: Golem1057)

This songs pretty easy.... I added optional bass notes that make it
sound
better if your playing by yourself. I tabbed out the song the way it
goes
on the album.... The verses are all the same, I just retabbed them.

I tried to show some of the spacing between notes, but it's far from 
perfect... so you'll probably have to listen to the song while you
play.

(Notes in parentheses are played by the bass.... I think...)
