Tuning:
This Version is Based on an "Under the Bridge" lesson by the RHCP Guitarist John Frusciante
Located here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mU_sxusyuoI
This was the first song I ever learned to play and after 7 years learning and relearning it over and over
I think I got it fairly down pat.
No capo

I drive on her streets It's hard to believe
'Cause she's my companion That there's nobody out there
I walk through her hills It's hard to believe
'Cause she knows who I am That I'm all alone
She sees my good deeds and At least I have her love
She kisses me windy and The city she loves me
I never worry Lonely as I am
Now that is a lie Together we cry
**Chorus** **Chorus**
[Chorus]
For B CHord > 1.Mute all with Pointer Finger
2.Bar 11s with Ring Finger
3.Pinky on 12

I don't ever wanna feel
Like I did that day
Take me to the place I love
Take me all the way

Like I did that day
Take me to the place I love
Take me all that way (yeah yeah yeah)
