Subject: TAB: Rubella by the Smoking Popes
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)
G D C G

D G F
I'm inflamed with desire and it's spreading like wildfire
G E A D
She doesn't know it but she'll soon be mine
Bb D# Bb D G
It's just a question of time
C G
Rubella

I'm in-sanely obsessed and I simply will not rest

And I won't stop until I'm done

I've lost six pounds since I laid eyes on her
Rubella

A -------0---2--3----------3-2-0-----------3-2-0------------------|
E ---3----------------3------------3---0-----------3-----0---3----|
(Chords under solo)
G D C G
- Verse:
D G F
I'm in love with a girl she's infected my whole world
G E A D
She doesn't know it but she's inside me
Bb D# Bb D G
And now I've gone completely
C G
Rubella
D G F
She explodes like a fist and she burns from the first kiss
G E A D
I haven't told her but she's all mine now
Bb D# Bb D
I knew somehow I'd catch her
G C
Rubella x6
End with the trademark Popes' stinger on G.

| For anyone who may not know, 'rubella' is a type of infectious disease, which also happens to sound a bit like a girl's name. most of us know that feeling of being 'infected' by someone... which is what makes this song great. | |
