The Jean Genie by David Bowie

-----------

Tabbed by Frederic Maquet (f.maquet@ic.ac.uk)

 

 

This is an extremely fun song to play. It's quite easy to make it sound

quite like

the original. The tab is 90% correct, as I taped this off the radio.

Therefore, I'm not quite

sure about the intro (although, it should be that, if I remember

correctly),

and I think in the extended version there might be a longer solo

(probably based

on E blues),but then again, there might not be one...Enjoy!

 

Don't forget to drop me a line:

Small Jean Genie, she took off to the city,

E E E A E E E A

Strung out on lasers and slash-back blazers

Ate all your razors while pulling the waiters

Talking 'bout Monroe while walking on snow white

New York's a go-go, and everything tastes nice,

Poor little greenie...

Oowwooohoo

Gene Genie, lives.....back

 

B riff

Jean Genie, lives on his back,

Jean Genie, loves Jimmy's ex,

"It's outrageous", he screams and he bawls,

Jean Genie, let yourself go!

 

A riff x2

Ohooo

 

Verse 2:

--------

 

Sits like an adder, he smiles like a reptile,

She love him, she love him, but just for a short while,

She's scratching the sand, won't let go of his hand,

He says he's a beautician, he sells you nutrition,

Keeps off your dead hair and making a bundle, (<-not sure about lyrics)

 

Poor little greenie, ooo oohooo

 

Chorus 2: Same as chorus 1

---------

 

Verse 3:

--------

 

He's so simple minded, he can't drive his module,

He bites on the neon and sleeps in a capsule

 

Solo-ish

 

EEEEEEEEEE E E7 E E E A EEEEEEEEEEEE E E7
