He rants and raves, he screams and shouts
He always flips his lid
But deep down inside he loves you kids
I know that you think he’s just a goon
But he makes little Vapid clean his room

He don’t like Nirvana
I know he don’t like Prong
And I’ll bet you 5 bucks that he don’t like this song

Ben Weasel – ”He’s an asshole”
Ben Weasel – ”He’s a jerk”
Ben Weasel – You just hate him ’cuz he don’t have to work
Ben Weasel – ”He’s an asshole”
Ben Weasel – ”He’s a jerk”
Ben Weasel…
He’s Ben Weasel, he’s so cool
He’s Ben Weasel, he’s so cool
He’s Ben Weasel, what can you do?
Ben Weasel, he’s so cool…..1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8!

Play the riff 4 times again.

He drinks his mud, he smokes his butts
He’s glued to his T.V.
But when I drink a brew he frowns on me
He paces in his living room and festers every night
But we know that his bark’s worse than his bite

He don’t like Nirvana
I know he don’t like Prong
And I’ll bet you 5 bucks that he don’t like this song

Ben Weasel – ”He’s an asshole”
Ben Weasel – ”He’s a jerk”
Ben Weasel – You just hate him ’cuz he don’t have to work
Ben Weasel – ”He’s an asshole”
Ben Weasel – ”He’s a jerk”
Ben Weasel…
He’s Ben Weasel, he’s so cool
He’s Ben Weasel, he’s so cool
He’s Ben Weasel, what can you do?
Ben Weasel, he’s so cool

I hope this was all right. If not corrections are welcome. If these tabs
are actually usefull to you let me know, I’m more than willing to tab out
more songs.

GUITAR TABLATURE:

This is the tablature for DEBRA JEAN from the album LOVE SONGS FOR
THE RETARDED written by THE QUEERS.
This was song was figured out by MAX OBEIDIN (and a little bit by
RYAN JERNIGAN)
E-Mail: obeidi19@mail.airmail.net
This song is played in standard tuning (E,A,D,G,B,E).
Lyrics and Music by THE QUEERS.
(Taken from the lyrics in the album.)

Notes:
I recommend playing the song with downstrokes.
I have also written two ways to play the solo.
They both have the same notes, but the second one is
probably easier. (I prefer playing it the first way, even though
I figured outhow to play it both ways.)
By the way, this is my first tab.

Here Are The Chords That You’ll Need:

E  --------- G  --------- C  ---------
--------- --------- ---------
--------- --------- ----5----
----2---- ----5---- ----5----
----2---- ----5---- ----3----
----0---- ----3---- ---------
D  --------- D  ---------
--------- ----3----
----7---- or ----2----
----7---- ----0----
----5---- ---------
--------- ---------

Play the D chord whichever way is the easiest.
(I use the first one.)

Each Chord Is Played Several Times
(It’s Best To Practice Along With The Album).

First Verse:

One thing I know is true - I need a little girl like you

So I can stop hanging around

So I can stop making that downtown trip, you know

It’s starting to get old

If you know what I mean

You can scream and shout and it’ll be fine

Keep me in bed all day and blow my mind

You can hold me tight and rattle my brain

You can kiss me and drive me insane

Give me funny little shivers up and down my spine

When we kiss each and every time

What I’m thinking and doing never seem to work out

They’re always two different things you know

Open up your eyes and see that you’re the only girl for me

Chorus: (2x)

(Oh) Debra Jean baby you’re my queen

And queens don’t seem to speak

To guys like me (Ooh me)

I was meant for meant for you and you were meant for me

Solo: (See the bottom of this tab sheet.)

Second Verse:

One thing I know is true - I need a little girl like you

Someone to stay with me and stick by my side

And someone I can call my little butterfly

Give me funny little shivers up and down my spine

When we kiss each and every time

What I’m thinking and doing never seem to work out

They’re always to different things you know

Open up your eyes and see that you’re the only girl for me

Chorus: (Again) (ad nauseum)

(The chorus repeats as the song fades out.)

The Solo: (The way I usually play it.)

The Backing Riff For The Solo:

There. That was my first tab. If it doesn’t sound right,
then your guitar probably isn’t tuned.

HAVE A NICE DAY!!!
