"Under the Bridge" by the Red Hot Chili Peppers Bass part by Michael Balzary (Flea) Tabbed by Dan Bogosian (UtBDan) Visit UtBDan's band at: http://www.geocities.com/underthbed/ NOTE: This is exactly what Flea plays on the "Off the Map" DVD. If you want to know what's changed, he plays a part before the chorus, the chorus has slightly, and the bridge has changed A LOT.
