Bass tabs

BASS TABLATURE:

  This is the bass tablature for DEBRA JEAN from the album LOVE SONGS
  FOR THE RETARDED written by THE QUEERS.
  This was song was figured out by MAX OBEIDIN (and a little bit by
  RYAN JERNIGAN)
  E-Mail: [email protected]
  This song is played in standard tuning (E,A,D,G).
  Lyrics and Music by THE QUEERS.
 (Taken from the lyrics in the album.)

  Notes:
    I recommend playing the song with downstrokes.
    By the way, this is my second tab.
  Here Are The Notes That You'll Need:

     E = ---------    G = ---------    C = ---------
       ---------      ---------      ---------
       ---------      ---------      ----3----
       ----0----      ----3----      ---------

    D = ---------     D = ---------
      ---------   or   ----0----
      ----5----       ---------
      ---------       ---------

  Play the D note whichever way is the easiest.
  (I use the first one.)

  Each Note Is Played Several Times
  (It's Best To Practice Along With The Album).

  First Verse:

    G             E
    One thing I know is true - I need a little girl like you

    G
    So I can stop hanging around

    E                C
    So I can stop making that downtown trip, you know

    C
    It's starting to get old

    D
    If you know what I mean

    G
    You can scream and shout and it'll be fine

    E
    Keep me in bed all day and blow my mind

    G
    You can hold me tight and rattle my brain

    E
    You can kiss me and drive me insane

    E   C
    Give me funny little shivers up and down my spine

    D
    When we kiss each and every time

    C
    What I'm thinking and doing never seem to work out

    G
    They're always two different things you know

    C             D
    Open up your eyes and see that you're the only girl for me
  Chorus: (2x)

    G
    (Oh) Debra Jean baby you're my queen

    E
    And queens don't seem to speak

    C
    To guys like me (Ooh me)

    D
    I was meant for meant for you and you were meant for me


  Solo: (See the bottom of this tab sheet.)


  Second Verse:


    G            E
    One thing I know is true - I need a little girl like you

    G
    Someone to stay with me and stick by my side

    E
    And someone I can call my little butterfly

    E   C
    Give me funny little shivers up and down my spine

    D
    When we kiss each and every time

    C
    What I'm thinking and doing never seem to work out

    G
    They're always to different things you know

    C             D
    Open up your eyes and see that you're the only girl for me


  Chorus: (Again) (ad nauseum)

    (The chorus repeats as the song fades out.)


  The Solo: (Arranged an octave lower for the bass.)

    G       E       C        D


  There. That was my second tab. If it doesn't sound right,
  then your bass probably isn't tuned.

  HAVE A NICE DAY!!!
