  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

  

  - Verse:

  

  	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

   	D				G		F		

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

  G    		E			A	   D	

  She doesn't know it yet but she's the one

  Bb	D# 		Bb	D		G

  And   I won't   stop until I'm done

  C 		G

  Rubella

  

  - Bridge:

  		C			  Cm			G

  And the 	heart that she has stolen has now swollen

  	B			E

  to twice its natural size

  	A			   C 			D	C		

  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)

  	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.
