'Adena' by The Smoking Popes (RIP)
From the superlative album 'Born to Quit'
Words and Music by Josh Caterer
All original tabbing done by D&J
I have tabbed what I assume is Josh's rhythm guitar - I.E. the guitar that most closely
follows the vocal melody.
Listen to the recording to hear the other harmonizing parts and the weird rhythm in part

*Standard Tuning
*All chords are Barred except for the intro and the E in part II.

| Adena's also a (very uncommon) semitic name, which I'm guessing is the only significant meaning to the song. which is great, by the way, I finally saw them play it live and they did it like they do on the album, as opposed to the weird chunky-guitar live version that's floating around on the net. | |

| Sandra refers to Sandra Bernhardt, one of Josh's crushes when younger, Rubella is the scientific term for chicken pox, megan is a beautiful name and a damn good song, and i might be mistaken but the song 'paul' could be about saint paul, Adena was a native american tribe, but how that relates to the lyrics of this song i have no idea | |
