Album:Blood Sugar Sex Magik B-side
Song:Fela´s Cock
Tabbed by Greenie 12
I think this song is played with a slight chorus...to get that
bright clean sound....anyway, I´ve been working on this one
for a while and this is the newer version...I think its´ kind of close,
but if you have any corrections you could allways make new
version...or if somebody maybe could figure out the bass
part it would be great. I´m pretty shure this song is in the
key of G

Instead of playing the G on the 10th fret on the A-string, you could
play the G on 5th fret on the D-string if you think that sounds better.

I don´t know if you should play the the notes on the A and D-string
in this part, but I think it sounds good both ways.
