---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I've been in the KINGS OF LEON concert in Madrid,
it was fucking good, I was totally out of control!.
I'm working in RAZZ(I still have to work the solo),
and I have the last part of SLOW NIGHTS SO LONG, but
everything must wait.
This is what I saw of Taper Jean Girl:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

-INTRO:
-before the guitar sounds,there's a little bass riff:
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|--0--0-0---0--0-0---0--0-0---0--0-0---0--0-0---0--0-0---0--0-0---0--0-0--|

-then the two guitars:
GUITAR 1: CALEB:
E

|--9--7--9--9--9--9----9--7--9--9--9--9------|


GUITAR 2: MATTHEW: all trough the intro he plays this little thing:

|---16--16-16---16--16-16---16--16-16---16--16-16----|
|---17--17-17---17--17-17---17--17-17---17--17-17----|
|----------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------|


VERSE: Caleb plays the riff of the intro as he sings,
and Matthew just enters a few times to play some little
things that I haven't tabbed in the same key as Caleb:

"A-Ha Shake"
|--------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------------|
|--2--2--2--2--2--2----2--2--2--2--2--2------|
|--2--2--2--2--2--2----2--2--2--2--2--2------|
|--0--2--4--4--4--4----0--2--4--4--4--4------|

"Taper Jean Girl with a motel face"
|--------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------------|
|--7--7--7--7--7--7----7--7--7--7--7--7------|
|--7--7--7--7--7--7----7--7--7--7--7--7------|
|--9--7--9--9--9--9----9--7--9--9--9--9------|

ETC ETC ETC, just the same riff changing the lyrics

-CHORUS:

GUITAR 1: "Cunts watch their bodies"

-CHORUS 2: The same as chorus 1, and then:

-SOLO: Matthew plays the solo over Caleb, who keeps playing
the riff of the intro:

"EATING, DRINKING, FUCKING AND SUCKING:
IS THIS IT? IS THIS WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT?"
-Toni Montana
Tunning: Standard (E A D G B e)
Tabbed by: matty_ireland
(http://profile.ultimate-guitar.com/matty_ireland)

PLEASE RATE THIS! THANKS!

Favourite Kings of Leon song this one,
but no one seems to have tabbed it right yet!

The song is pretty simple and I have tabbed
lead and ryhthm for it but I do not know the bass
so you may have to work that one out for yourselves!

The format of the song is:
Intro
Verse 1
Chorus 1
Link 1
Verse 2
Chorus 2
Link 2
Verse 3
Chorus 3
Outro


CALEB (rhythm) plays the first three stings only
all through the song up until the outro (he only
plays it continuously in the intro with
Matthew and strikes the chord once at the start
of Verse 1 & 2):

e--16--|
b--17--|
g--16--|
d------|
a------|
e------|


The intro and verse for MATTHEW (lead) is also
quite simple:

e---------------------------------------|
b---------------------------------------|
g---------------------------------------|
d---------------------------------------|
a--7-9-11--11-11-11--7-9-11--11-11-11---|
E--0-0--0--0--0--0---0-0--0--0---0--0---|

e---------------------------------------]
b---------------------------------------]
g---------------------------------------]
d--11-9-11--11-11-11--11-9-11--11-11-11-]
a---0-0--0---0--0--0---0-0--0---0--0--0-]
E---------------------------------------]
(This is played for Intro, Verse 1 & 2, and
Link 1)


The chorus is only played by MATTHEW.
The ~ means let the chord ring out):

e--------------]
b--------------]
g--------------] x4
d--9-9-9-7~~~~-]
a--7-7-7-5~~~~-]
E--0-0-0-0~~~~-]
(This is played in Chorus 1,2 & 3)


In Link 2 and Verse 3 Caleb plays his chord
throughout and MATTHEW plays this through
both aswell (both go back to normal Chorus
playing for Chorus 3).

e--12------------]
b-----14---------]
g--------13-11-9-]
d----------------]
a----------------]
E----------------]


In the Outro CALEB plays this:
e-0-0-0-0000-0-0-0-0-]
b-0-0-0-0000-0-0-0-0-]
g-1-1-1-1111-1-1-1-1-]
d-2-2-0-0022-0-0-0-0-] x 12
a-2-2-0-0022-0-0-0-0-]
E-0-0-0-0000-0-0-0-0-]

While MATTHEW plays this:
e--------------------]
b--------------------]
g--------------------]
d--------------------] x 12
a-7-7-5-5577-5-5-5-5-]
E-0-0-0-0000-0-0-0-0-]


Then CALEB ends the song with:
e-0~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~|
b-0~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~|
g-1~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~|
d-2~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~|
a-2~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~|
E-0~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~|

And MATTHEW ends the song with:
e-------------------|
b-------------------|
g-------------------|
d-------------------|
a-7~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~-|
E-0~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~-|

I explained it in the simplest way I could but it
probably leads to some confusion so any trouble
contact my profile on here or email me at:

(If you do email me please put 'TAPER JEAN GIRL QUESTION'
as the subject title so I don't mistake you for spam)
