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...
Intro:
- Solo:
A ----------2-3-5b7b5-------2h3------0h2h3p2p0-------3-2-0------|
E ----3-----------------3---------0--------------3-----------3--|
(Chords under solo)
- Verse:
I'm inflamed with desire and it's spreading like wildfire
She doesn't know it but she'll soon be mine
It's just a question of time
Rubella
I'm in-sanely obsessed and I simply will not rest
She doesn't know it yet but she's the one
And I won't stop until I'm done
Rubella
- Bridge:
And the heart that she has stolen has now swollen
to twice its natural size
I've lost six pounds since I laid eyes on her
Rubella
- Solo 2 (real unsure on this one):
A -------0---2--3----------3-2-0-----------3-2-0------------------|
E ---3----------------3------------3---0-----------3-----0---3----|
(Chords under solo)
- Verse:
I'm in love with a girl she's infected my whole world
She doesn't know it but she's inside me
And now I've gone completely
Rubella
She explodes like a fist and she burns from the first kiss
I haven't told her but she's all mine now
I knew somehow I'd catch her
Rubella x6
End with the trademark Popes' stinger on G.
Enjoy - if anyone has tab for View Of The Rain (Take A Walk on
No Alternative) by Urge Overkill or any new Sunny Day Real
Estate, drop me a line...
