Outro:

I have no idea about the end of this song,
but most of the work is done by the great
bass. Try strumming this chord,

|------|
|--8---|
|—-7---|
|--6---|
|--7---|
|------|

or try some of those strange, shortened Bar–
chords that John uses in songs like  Around  
the world  or  Tear .You know?

Looks like the Peppers´ latest tribute to 
the god – like Jimi Hendrix (R.I.P).
