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.)

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

HAVE A NICE DAY!!!
