Song:Taper Jean Girl
Artist:Kings of Leon
Album:A-Ha Shake Heartbreak
Tabber:Alexthebeatle, FROM SPAIN
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

 I've been in the KINGS OF LEON concert in Madrid,
 it was fucking good, I was totally out of control!.
 I'm working in RAZZ(I still have to work the solo),
 and I have the last part of SLOW NIGHTS SO LONG, but
 everything must wait.
 This is what I saw of Taper Jean Girl:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

-INTRO:
-before the guitar sounds,there's a little bass riff:
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|--0--0-0---0--0-0---0--0-0---0--0-0---0--0-0---0--0-0---0--0-0---0--0-0--|

-then the two guitars:
GUITAR 1: CALEB:
   E
|--------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------------|
|--2--2--2--2--2--2----2--2--2--2--2--2------|
|--2--2--2--2--2--2----2--2--2--2--2--2------|
|--0--2--4--4--4--4----0--2--4--4--4--4------|

   A
|--------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------------|
|--7--7--7--7--7--7----7--7--7--7--7--7------|
|--7--7--7--7--7--7----7--7--7--7--7--7------|
|--9--7--9--9--9--9----9--7--9--9--9--9------|

   E
|--------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------------|

|--2--2--2--2--2--2----2--2--2--2--2--2------|
|--2--2--2--2--2--2----2--2--2--2--2--2------|
|--0--2--4--4--4--4----0--2--4--4--4--4------|

|--7--7--7--7--7--7----7--7--7--7--7--7------|
|--7--7--7--7--7--7----7--7--7--7--7--7------|
|--9--7--9--9--9--9----9--7--9--9--9--9------|


GUITAR 2: MATTHEW: all trough the intro he plays this little thing:

|---16--16-16---16--16-16---16--16-16---16--16-16----|
|---17--17-17---17--17-17---17--17-17---17--17-17----|
|----------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------|


VERSE: Caleb plays the riff of the intro as he sings,
and Matthew just enters a few times to play some little
things that I haven't tabbed in the same key as Caleb:

         "A-Ha              Shake"
|--------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------------|
|--2--2--2--2--2--2----2--2--2--2--2--2------|
|--2--2--2--2--2--2----2--2--2--2--2--2------|
|--0--2--4--4--4--4----0--2--4--4--4--4------|

         "Taper Jean Girl with a motel face"
|--------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------------|
|--7--7--7--7--7--7----7--7--7--7--7--7------|
|--7--7--7--7--7--7----7--7--7--7--7--7------|
|--9--7--9--9--9--9----9--7--9--9--9--9------|

 ETC ETC ETC, just the same riff changing the lyrics

-CHORUS:

GUITAR 1:       "Cunts watch their bodies"
|--------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------------|
|---9-9-9--7---------------------------------|

-AGAIN the intro with both guitars. Don't forget Matthew's little thing
-VERSE 2: The same as verse 1 but with different lyrics
-CHORUS 2: The same as chorus 1, and then:

-SOLO: Matthew plays the solo over Caleb, who keeps playing
the riff of the intro:

	oh man, the intro of this song reminds me of that Van Halen song "Pretty woman"....Great song by the way.

No Picture Derek Average	#2 by Derek Lamberty at Jul 8, 1981 at 6:08 AM EST
	if you're small enough to wear them, I think they're adorable. just like leggings, except made out of jean material. oh, and rumor has it that caleb wrote this song about VV from The Kills.

No Picture Pasquale Average	#3 by Pasquale at Aug 16, 1981 at 10:58 PM EST
	I think that this song is about the girls that wear tapered jeans that they have met on the road and how most of those girls have similar mentalities and how the girls are luring them into their world and tempting them like school girls hence "knocking them down like the seventh grade" this band is simply amazing and they have brought classic rock back to contemporary music with their own originality....they are beautiful

No Picture Christina Average	#8 by Christina Anderson at Apr 19, 1994 at 10:22 PM EST
	i saw KOL last night and they were all wearing taper jeans. well, maybe just tight pants. Caleb had spandex on with a woman's cardigan. ah, to be in a band and wear whatever the hell I want to matter how ridiculous and still be so friggin cool.
