Rubella tab by Smoking Popes

Tabs

Artist: Smoking Popes
Album: Born To Quit (Capitol Records)
Author: John Atkinson

Since there's precious little tab for this great band, I figgered I'd
tab out one of the cooler songs on the 'Born To Quit' album. The chords
are accurate - the solo sections are only approximations, and he uses some
FX that I'm not sure of on it. It's close enough for me, though - you
might want to take it up an octave or something. Try to get a clean but
slightly fuzzy sound on this one. My Ibanez Tube Screamer works great.
Questions and comments much appreciated...
