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) (The chorus repeats as the song fades out.) The Solo: (Arranged an octave lower for the bass.) ---------------------------------------------- ------5-4---4-5-4---7-5-4--- -5----7-9-10-9-7-5------7-9-10-9-7-5------7-9-10-9-7-----7-------7-------5- -------------------7-----------------7------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------5-4---4-5-4---7-5-4------ ---7-9-10-9-7-5------7-9-10-9-7-5------7-9-10-9-7-----7-------7-------5---- ----------------7-----------------7---------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Backing Riff For The Solo: 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!!!
