ROAD TRIPPIN´ by Red Hot Chili Peppers

Tabbed by Anders Westman, Linköping, SWEDEN

This is a great acoustic song with a rich arrangement of bass, guitar, strings and a second voice, BUT you can make it sound
pretty good with just a guitar and voice.

This song may be a bit difficult to play, and therefor it`s important to play simultaneously with the CD, to get the timing right.
I hope you find the tabs okay. Good luck!
