Hi everybody, this is Clement, and this is my first tab posted on lline.
I chose a great song (the best ?) of the new album of RHCP released in 2016.
The main riff seems easy, but do not let the two strings ring at the same time.

[VERSE 1] (play intro through the verse)
EmFind me in the suburbs and the shadow of decay
