Red Hot Chili Peppers - Parallel Universe
Album: Californication

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tabbed by: Alan Good (kentucky_fried_children_@hotmail.com)
Tuning: Standard (ebgdae)

Judging by the tabs that have alreayd been posted here, people can't seem to diffrentiate
between the bass and the guitar of this song. The riffs posted up already are actually
what the bass plays, not the guitar. Here is what i hope is the correct version. It should be
fine cos i checked it against the Californication tab book. Enjoy!

P.S The new RHCP album, By The Way, is cool! Has anyone got a tab
for "On Mercury" yet? If so please email it to me, id be very grateful!

OUTRO: This is a bit weird, its basically just a load of notes and John screwing about
with a phase shifter. You're probably better off just doing your own thing here, but this is
what i think it is
