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...

Enjoy - if anyone has tab for View Of The Rain (Take A Walk on
No Alternative) by Urge Overkill or any new Sunny Day Real
Estate, drop me a line...
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official SMOKING POPES tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
