                             Bunker Hill - Red Hot Chili Peppers
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: finallife6
E-mail: 

This is the bass tab I made for Bunker Hill the famous B-side originally recorded for Californication, 
and sat in silence til the Fortune Faded single release. I thought   I'd do some justice for this under 
rated masterpiece as the other tabs are completely wrong on this site. The song it self is not that hard, 
I would heavily suggest playing it with a pick, specially for the bass chords during the choruses. The timing 
won't be up to par with the song, but I will try to show breaking in the notes if possible.
