        No one else bothered to post this so I took the liberty of figuring
it out myself. It may not be exactly right, but it sounds like it is.
Corrections, comments and questions are welcome at meunier.1@osu.edu
Beyond that, my only advice is to play it fast with as much attitude as you
can muster.

                                "36-24-36" by the Violent Femmes
written by Gordon Gano
Transcribed by Bryson Meunier
>From "Add It Up"
guitar solos and lyrics included(I'm including the lyrics because all I
really have is the guitar solos and solos alone do not a tab file make).

Thirty-six...Twenty-Four...Thirty-Six!

See a girl walkin' down the street
Just the kind of girl that I'd like to meet
It ain't her hair, her clothes, her feet
Somethin' much more discreet 

I ain't allowed baby I ain't proud
I just want what I'm not allowed
Move on up and help myself
It do a world of good for my mental health

36-24-36, somethin's broke and it needs to be fixed
I don't know how to tell you this but I'm gettin bored 
and I need some kicks like 36-24-36!

guitar solo 1:
 E-----------------------------------------------------------
 B-----------------------------------------------------------
 G------7b7-7r^h5---5----7--5--7h5---5-7b^h5-5--7--5--7--7b-----
 D----------------7----------------7----------------------------
 A-----------------------------------------------------------
 E-----------------------------------------------------------
 
(You'll have to figure out the timing on your own but when played at the
same speed, with the same feel, this arrangement sounds very similar to the cd).
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/v/violent_femmes/36_24_36_tab.html ]
Man oh man oh man oh man
I got a red hot plan have you understand
It cannot fail it's plain to see
I'm havin' fun and makin' money
I know this summer's gonna be the best
If I don't die from lack of rest
"Experience" what my daddy said
That's what I got just like he said
 
36-24-36, somethin was broke but I got it fixed
I don't know if I should tell you this 
but I's gettin bored and I got my kicks!
like 36-24-36

Something special, about her personality
Something special, about her physiology

Guitar solo 2:
 E---------------------------------------------5----------------------|
 B--10b-------7h5---5-5------------------------5------------11--10--9-|
 G----------------7-----7b^h5-----5--7--5--7b--5--------/13-----------|
 D----------------------------7--------------------0------------------|
 A--------------------------------------------------------------------|
 E--------------------------------------------------------------------|

 E----------------------------------------------------|  
 B-7-----------------------------------2\-------------|
 G-----10--9--8--7--6\-----------------2\-------------|
 D----------------------8--7-6-5-4-3---2\-------------|
 A-------------------------------------0--------------|
 E---------------------------------------------0------|
 
(Again, you're on your own as far as timing is concerned. Also again, I know
this isn't exact but it definitely sounds similar when played correctly.
Don't follow the numerical indicators in the last part of this solo
verbatim. Just use them as a guideline and walk up the neck to a tune that
suits you).

36-24-36  I want lots of pretty chicks

This is a small correction meant to be added to the already
existing"36-24-36.tab" file at OLGA. The hammer-ons are actually meant to
be pull-offs. So it's not 7h5 but rather 7p5. Maybe this was
self-explanatory given the numbers' relation to one another but I thought
I'd correct it anyway for the sake of clarity.I apologize for the mistake
but I posted it around finals week and I wasn't in complete control of my
senses.  Remarkably,though, the solos still sound decent to me. Write me if
you disagree.
