SONG   :What's my scene
ARTIST :Hoodoo Gurus
ALBUM  :Electric Soup
FROM   : Joe Rogers-Campbell

Ok I've looked for ages for a proper tab for this one and couldn't find it. So I just
to do it myself. This song sounds really good when you play it with someone else.
I tabbed this with the First and second guitar. I also put them in different sections.
(NOTE : You have to listen to the song to know where everything fits in)
Also look at the lyrics I put in to help you out.

p = pull off
h = hammer on
b = bend

(SECOND GUITAR)
Ok the second guitar in this just basically strums chords and does all the main solos
throughout the song.
The solos sound really good in this song and you don't even have to have years of
to play them. Although it takes awhile to figure them out and fit them in with the first guitar.

After the first time through with the D,E,G on the first guitar at the very begining,the
guitar comes in with:

(Second guitar
   D#1  D#2  D
E|-2----4----7
B|-3----5----8
G|-2----4----7
D|------------
A|------------
E|------------

)
#3
--|  (The D played here goes higher)
--|
--|   D#1-is the normal D
--|   D#2-is the medium high D
--|   D#3-is the high D
--|

Now this is the part when you strum the chords :

(Intro)

(1st Verse)

(D)And another thing, I've been wondering (E)lately
Ah (G)baby, tell me where have you (D)been?
(D)Now the stage is set, where's my Juliet, (E)baby
Is it maybe? (G)my midsummer nights (D)dream

(CHORUS)

(G)What's my (A)scene (E)
(G)What's my (A)scene (E)
(G)What's my (A)scene (E)
(G)Tell me what's my scene (D)

Now quickly change into the solo :

(1st SOLO)

E|------------
B|-----8---7-1
G|-7-9--------
D|------------
A|------------
E|------------

---|----------
0-7|-10-7-----

--8----|------
9------|------
-------|------
-------|------
-------|------

-17-14----|
-------15-|
----------|
----------|
----------|
----------|

Now you start strumming again

(2nd VERSE)

(D)Like a talent scout, always checking out (E)new blood
Oh I'd (G)do good, if you tell me your (D)game
(D)Playing solitaire, doesn't get me where you (E)would
And honey, (G)You could play any rules that you (D)name


(CHORUS)

(G)What's my (A)scene (E)
(G)What's my (A)scene (E)
(G)What's my (A)scene (E)
(G)Tell me what's my scene (D)
     (PAUSE)
Tell me I gotta know
     (Start again)
   D#1  D#2  D#3
E|-2----4----7
B|-3----5----8
G|-2----4----7

--|
--|
--| x2   - Do 

this just like

 the start as 

he is singing 

"whats my, wha

--|
--|

                (3rd VERSE)

(A)They say, yeah they say, (G)making love they can (D)make you pay
(A)They say, yeah they say, (G)we know there's a (D)better way...anyday

Now quickly again change into the next solo :

(A)Whats my? (E)


(SONG)

       *1st Verse*
And another thing
I've been wondering lately
Ahh baby,
Tell me where have you been?
Now the stage is set where's my Juliet, baby?
Is it maybe
My midsummer nights dream?

       *Chorus*
What's my scene?
What's my scene?
What's my scene?
Tell me whats my scene?

       *2nd Verse*
Like a talent scout
Always checking out new blood
Oh, I'd do good
If you tell me your game
Playing solitaire
Doesn't get me where you would
And honey, You could play any rules that you name

       *Chorus*
What's my scene?
What's my scene?
What's my scene?
Tell me I gotta know
What's my?
What's my?
What's my,what's my scene?
What's my?
What's my?
What's my,what's my scene?

       *3rd Verse*
They say, yeah, they say
Making love, you can make it pay
They say, yeah, they say
But we know there's a better way
Anyday


And another thing
I've been wondering lately
Am I crazy?
To believe in ideals?
I'm a betting man
But it's getting damn lonely
Oh honey if only
I was sure what I feel

     *Chorus*
What's my scene?
What's my scene?
What's my scene?
Tell me I gotta know
What's my?
What's my?
What's my,what's my scene?
What's my?
What's my?
What's my,what's my scene?
What's my?
What's my?
What's my,what's my scene?
What's my?
What's my?
What's my,what's my scene?
Whats's my...?
