Smoking Popes is an American punk band from Chicago, Illinois, formed in 1991. They play pop-influenced punk music with crooning vocals and romantic lyrics. The core of the group is composed of brothers Matt Caterer (b. 1968), Josh Caterer (b. 1972) and Eli Caterer (b. 1975).
The Caterer brothers were raised on rock 'n' roll and crooners like Tony Bennett and Frank Sinatra. In 1980 Matt got a guitar, Josh a bass guitar and Eli a drum set and they began to play together.

Artist: Smoking Popes Album: Born To Quit (Capitol Records) Author: John Atkinson
Since there's precious little tab for this great band, I figgered I'd tab out one of the cooler songs on the 'Born To Quit' album. The chords are accurate - the solo sections are only approximations, and he uses some FX that I'm not sure of on it. It's close enough for me, though - you might want to take it up an octave or something. Try to get a clean but slightly fuzzy sound on this one. My Ibanez Tube Screamer works great. Questions and comments much appreciated...

End with the trademark Popes' stinger on G.
