Subject: TAb: The Jean Genie by David Bowie Date: Tue, 17 Mar 1998 17:51:31 -0000 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!
