Tabbed By: pp(méxico) 
 
este tab va dedicado a todos mis amigos familia y a mi hermano, ya que le gustan las canciones de lenny kravitz al igual que a mi. 
 
Para esta canción, como para casi todas las de Lenny Kravitz, no se tocan todas las cuerdas(una especie de power chords) es decir, para E solo se utilizarian las cuerdas 6ª 5ª y 4ª y para B la 5 4 y 3; a continuacion lo ejemplifico en una tablatura:  
 
"for this song, how for almost lenny kravitz, just play something like power chords, i mean, for the E chord play the 6th 5th and 4th strings, for B plays the 5 4 and 3 strings. for example":

Venice Beach and P.O.P.     |    para esta parte,toca algo como esto: 
Station 26 was free         |   pero escucha bien la cancion, porque en ciertas veces 
                                se repite un poco mas la primera parte 
                                 ( for this part play something like this, but 
                                  listen to the song because sometimes the first part 
                                  changes a little bit, i mean it repeats more)

I miss the Apple and my schoolyard boys  |    
Nothing ever will compare                |

With my surfer girl                      |     
And we really are a pair                 |

*Note: (listen to the song to know how many times you must repeat each part of the  
riff, for example the part -15p12--  you must repeat about 7 times
