Song: Under the Bridge Artist: Red Hot Chili Peppers Album: Blood Sugar Sex Magik Submitted and tabbed by Brandon Williams e-mail: Bwillia1074@cs.com This should be fairly accurate. It's not as involved as the other versions out there, but I think that it sounds closer to what John is actually playing.

played twice just like that and two more times after that with slight variations. The song ends on an A chord. If you're retarded and don't know what that is, either give up guitar now or look below. |-0-| |-2-| |-2-|
