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...
