SONG:  By The Way
ARTIST:  Red Hot Chili Peppers
ALBUM:  By The Way (2002)
Tabbed by:  Lance Mohesky


*****************************************************
Ok, a lot of tabs just tab the main bass line or rythym.  I've tried to tab
the actual song along with the melody.  It's more accurate than any tab
out there right now.  Have fun!
