Red Hot Chili Peppers - This Velvet Glove
           From The "Californication" Album

The timing on this is OK but not perfect, though everything else should be. 
It's all in order so play it straight through.

I might tab the acoustic rhythm guitar part for this song some time, but 
no promises (It's mostly just Dm, C, B, B).
