The Jean Genie by David Bowie
————
Tabbed by Frederic Maquet ([email protected])
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

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

———
Sits like an adder, he smiles like a reptile,
