The Jean Genie by David Bowie
Tabbed by Frederic Maquet (f.maquet@ic.ac.uk)

This is an extremely fun song to play. It's quite easy to make it sound
quite like the original. The tab is 90% correct, as I taped this off
the radio. Therefore, I'm not quite sure about the intro (although,
it should be that, if I remember correctly), and I think in the
extended version there might be a longer solo (probably based on E
blues), but then again, there might not be one...Enjoy!

Don't forget to drop me a line:
