There are a couple of ways of playing Pretty Fly (For A White Guy). Playing along with the song you quickly learn whats right and whats wrong. It took me while to finally get this right. It sounds right and if you look closely at Noodles playing on the video clip he used the top half of the fret board, also the lower half/top half chord progressions. I have also included an alternative playing of the intro/chorus/outro at the bottom but keep in mind, its an alternative way, it's not nessesaryily the right way (and its not, it just sounds cool! lol) Enjoy!
