Doreen Guitar Tablature
Doreen

By Howards Alias (Geetaring by Matt)

Tabbed by Jamie

N.B. The live version is played faster than the recorded version!


Key:

h/p = hammer on/pull off
^   = downstroke (on ska parts)
x   = mute string
pm  = palm mute chords

Matt uses a Telecaster going through a Marshall stack with
a head unit and upper cab. Use the standard Marshall clean
channel with a bit of distortion for the bits marked "clean" and
switch to the distorted channel (with footswitch) for the
bits marked distorted. The distorted channel has a lot of gain 
and maybe some compression. 


Intro and Verses:

Wait through little bass fill, then play

      Dm              Bb      C
e|--x-5-x-5-x-5-x-5-x-6-x-6-x-8--x-8---|

A|-------------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------------|
    ^   ^   ^   ^   ^   ^   ^    ^
Then on the fourth bar play the C for the whole bar.

This is exactly the same in the verses.

    "Doreen, now that you've said to me...

Repeat this for the rest of the chorus. Then wait for the horns
bit, then you go into the verse again. Just before you hit
the verse chords you play these two chords:
