Walkabout by Red Hot Chili Peppers Well I've got the *basic* bass parts outlined here.

Use this as just a guideline to how to play it and enjoy! *Intro G:------------|------------------------------------------| D:-----12-----|--14--12----------------------------------| A:--14----14--|----------10----12b13r12--10h12-----------| E:------------|------------------------------------------| G:------------------------------------| D:--14--12----------------------------| A:----------10--12b13r12-10-----------| E:--------------------------10--------| G:----------------------------------------| D:--14--12--------------------------------| A:----------10----12b13r12--10h12---------| E:----------------------------------------| G:---------------------------------------| D:------10--12--12b13r12-10--12/14-------| A:--12-----------------------------------| E:---------------------------------------| G:-------12--14--14b15r14--12-14/16---------| D:---14-------------------------------------| A:------------------------------------------| E:------------------------------------------| G:-------------------------------------------| D:---14--12----------------------------------| A:-----------10--12b13r12--10----------------| E:----------------------------10------8------| --End Intro-- Riff 1 (+ simile endings) (x10) G:------------7-8-9-----------------|--------| D:----------7----------5--4---------|-Ending-| A:---0-----------------------7--5---|--Riff--| E:----------------------------------|--------| --Listed Below are a few different "Ending Riff" Variations.
