Venice Queen
By the Red Hot Chili Peppers 
off their album By The Way (2001)
Bassist: Flea
Tabber: Adam Levy (levy4nj@comcast.net) Corrections by Chris Harrison (fnkymnky500@comcast.net


The first tabber did a good job.. but there were a few corrections to be made.. 
and one huge part was wrong at the end


Tuned EADG
/ = slide up

Beginning

G----------------------------------------
D-----------------------22222222222-0-1--
A--77777777777-5-6---or------------------
E----------------------------------------
sometimes it goes to...
G----------------------------------------
D----------------------------------------
A---3-33-3-33-33--0-00-0-00-00-----------
E----------------------------------------
you'll know when.

After the pause, the guitar will introduce a new part, 
and then the bass will come in like this.

G-----------------------------------------------
D-----------------------------------------------
A--7-77-320-7-77-320-7-77-320-00-0000-55-55555--
E-----------------------------------------------

You can play this many ways and end up with the same notes.
For those inexperienced bassists they are;

G-----------------------------------------------
D-2-22-----2-22-----2-22--------------0-0-0-00--
A------320------320------320-0-0-0000-----------
E-----------------------------------------------
                        AND
G-----------------------------------------------
D-----------------------------------------------
A-7-77-----7-77-----7-77------------------------
E------875------875------875-55-5555/--1010101010
			10's not 1 0     ^

Then, it goes into a softer, easier part.  
To save space, i'll just include the note 
and you can listen to the song for the rhythm.
This was completely wrong by the first tabber.
Here is the right way( im not doing the rythem sorry)

We'll that's it.
