Notation legend:

 \ | /
   3   -> triplet, 3 notes in 2 beats.
   x   -> mute.
   \   -> slide up.    \   It can be after or before the note, like 1h3,
   /   -> slide down.   |  but if there's no enought space it can be 
   h   -> hammer on.    |  over or down, like G|-13-...
   p   -> pull off.    /                      D|--h-...
   ~   -> let ring.
   r   -> rest.
   S   -> slap.
   P   -> pop.
   + + -> the rhythm of the song, generally 4x4. If there are 2 digits notes
          or there's no enough space, I lengthen it, 
          from (+   +   ...) to (+   ·   +   ·  ...) 
   |·------·| -> repeat this a number of times, for example |·3-3-3-3·| x4
                 repeats 3-3-3-3 four times.


Listen attentivement to the beginning of the song, where only sounds 
the bass, you can hear an 'A', but with different sound, that's
because Flea plays the A alternating the chord E (5th position) and A 
(0 position).

The notes in the Intro and the Verse are 16th, so remember cut it.
