Debra Jean Tab By Queers

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: obeidi19@mail.airmail.net
   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)

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

   HAVE A NICE DAY!!!
