Red Hot Chili Peppers - Gong Li

gong li is a fantastic B – side by the red hot chili peppers .

i’ve seen a few tabs on the site , and one came very close , though was still off pitch
a bit . that bass – y note is an open E , the whole song is in the key of E .

it sounds 100% to me , but after all , this is my first try at tabbing . i also tabbed this
an acoustic . see chord shape chart below the song . i really don’t care for the credit ,
all about the music love . hope this helped someone .
