I recommend playing the song with downstrokes.
By the way, this is my second tab.

Play the D note whichever way is the easiest.
(I use the first one.)
Each Note Is Played Several Times
(It's Best To Practice Along With The Album).
First Verse:
G E
One thing I know is true - I need a little girl like you
G
So I can stop hanging around
E C
So I can stop making that downtown trip, you know
C
It's starting to get old
D
If you know what I mean
G
You can scream and shout and it'll be fine
E
Keep me in bed all day and blow my mind
G
You can hold me tight and rattle my brain
E
You can kiss me and drive me insane
E C
Give me funny little shivers up and down my spine
D
When we kiss each and every time
C
What I'm thinking and doing never seem to work out
G
They're always two different things you know
C D
Open up your eyes and see that you're the only girl for me
Chorus: (2x)
G
(Oh) Debra Jean baby you're my queen
E
And queens don't seem to speak
C
To guys like me (Ooh me)
D
I was meant for meant for you and you were meant for me
Solo: (See the bottom of this tab sheet.)
Second Verse:
G E
One thing I know is true - I need a little girl like you
G
Someone to stay with me and stick by my side
E
And someone I can call my little butterfly
E C
Give me funny little shivers up and down my spine
D
When we kiss each and every time
C
What I'm thinking and doing never seem to work out
G
They're always to different things you know
C D
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.)

There. That was my second tab. If it doesn't sound right,
then your bass probably isn't tuned.
HAVE A NICE DAY!!!
