GUITAR TABLATURE:
This is the 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: obeidi19@mail.airmail.net
This song is played in standard tuning (E,A,D,G,B,E).
Lyrics and Music by THE QUEERS.
(Taken from the lyrics in the album.)
Notes:
I recommend playing the song with downstrokes.
I have also written two ways to play the solo.
They both have the same notes, but the second one is
probably easier. (I prefer playing it the first way, even though
I figured outhow to play it both ways.)
By the way, this is my first tab.

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