UNDER THE BRIDGE - Red Hot Chili Peppers
4/4 time, with a groove. This tune is all about the strummig rythyms, so listen to the original repeatedly. Go Mr. Friscante, he does indeed rock.

CHORUS
F#m E A F#m e |--9---------------7----------------------------------------------| You could play the second F#m the same as the first one if it's B |--10------------9---------------16-------------14--------| too awkward on your type of guitar...

Strum the chords without the fills and fiddlings until the operatic part, which comes after this great sounding chordy fill :
F E G e |-------12-----------10--------------10--------------| strumming mostly down & up 16ths repeatedly B |------10------------9---------------12---------------| until last chord. G |-----10-------------9--------------12----------------| D |----10--------------9-------------12-----------------| A |--------------------------------------10------------------| E |------------------------------------------------------------|
Then let loose on the OUTTRO chord sequence again with all the f(r)ills. Enjoy!
