Tuning:
I wanted to create an acoustic tab for those who want to play a 'acoustified' version of the song with the
different instrument parts together. It may not be accurate as I know I am not the most skilled guitarist, so
leave any suggestions in the comments below to make it better :)
Dark Necessities- Red Hot Chili Peppers
[Intro]
This part is played in a quick up-down-up-down strumming pattern

This is the nice bass part they play, otherwise you can just play chords.
