the chorus one more time

BIG SWIFTY
Frank Zappa
-----------------------------------------
Tabbed by Howard Wright

H.Wright@astro.cf.ac.uk
This is based mostly on the 'Make a Jazz Noise Here' version, but
it should be pretty similar to other versions - it's usually the rhythm
of the bits that changes, rather than the notes themselves.
It might be an idea to listen to the track from 'Jazz Noise ...' and
follow the tab just so you know where the different sections come in.
There are quite a few time changes - I've tried to indicate some
of them (i.e fast bit, slow bit, etc) but it's best if you get
used to the track a little, then it should be clear how the tab
works.
Main Swifty Tune :

------------------(pretty fast !)

************************************
Make a jazz noise HERE !!!
************************************
... and continue making jazz noises over this chord sequence :
C#7#5
C7#5
B7#5
Bb7#5
A7#5
Ab7#5
G7#5
D7#5
Use either of these two chord shapes :
big_swifty.tab
EADGBE
3x344x
EADGBE
xx3443
G7#5
G7#5
(Just move them up to the 9th position for the C#, then down
one fret at a time )
The sequence goes round and round - it goes down a semitone at a time, then
when you get to G you move back up to D and start going down again ...
A little later on the same evening :

(this is where they stop noodling and the whole brass section plays
this tune together - the pace kind of picks up here too)
E-----------------------------------------------------------B-------10--13-----12-13-12-10-------10---------------------G-----11--------------------------12----12----11------------D---12------------------------------------------------------A-----------------------------------------------------------E------------------------------------------------------------

big_swifty.tab
G------------------------14-----------------------14--12-D--------------------------------------------------------A--------------------------------------------------------E--------------------------------------------------------^^^
stick a trill on this last note
if you fancy

E-----------7----------------7-7-7-7-9-7------------------B-------7-8---8-7-----7-8-10------------------------------G-----9-----------9---------------------------------------D---9-----------------------------------------------------A--------------------------------------------------------E---------------------------------------------------------
1812 Overture bit :

--------------------E--------------------------------------------------------B----------8---------8------------------8---------8--------G-----8-10---10-8-10----8---8------8-10---10-8-10----8---8D---8----------------------------8-------------------------A--------------------------------------------------------E---------------------------------------------------------

E-------------------B-------------------G--8--------8-------D----8----8---------A------10-----------E--------------------
Repeat the last three lines once - as you get to the last few notes,
start playing in the wrong key - and add a few odd notes at the end
too !
(That's what they do !)
Now it goes back to that chord sequence :

C#7#5 C7#5 B7#5 etc etc
big_swifty.tab
Go through this a few times ....
After quite a bit more noodling, and the sampled voices

section (with water noises) it comes back to the swifty tune
but a slightly different version :
Swifty tune version 2:

----------------------(fairly slow)
E----------------------------------------9----------------B---7-8-8-7-8-7-8-7-8-8-7-8-8-7-8-7-8/10-----10-8-7-8-7---G-------------------------------------------------------9-D--------------------------------------------------------A--------------------------------------------------------E---------------------------------------------------------

(now a lot faster !)
E---------------------------------------9----------------B-----7h8-8p7-8p7-8--7h8-8p7-8p7-8-8/10---10--8--7--8p7--G-------------------------------------------------------9D--------------------------------------------------------A--------------------------------------------------------E---------------------------------------------------------

Hey there people I'm Bobby Brown
Am
They say I'm the cutest boy in town
Dm7
My car is fast, my teeth are shiney
G
I tell all the girls they can kiss my hiney
Here I am at a famous school
I'm dressing sharp and I'm acting cool
I got a cheerleader here, wants to help with my paper
Let her do all the work and maybe later I'll rape her

Oh God I am the american dream

I do not think I'm too extreme
Dm7
G
And I'm a handsome son of a bitch
I'm gonna get a good job and be real rich
(get a good, get a good, get a good, get a good job)
Women's liberation
Came creeping all across the nation
I tell you people, I was not ready
When I fucked this dyke by the name of Freddy
She made a little speach then
uuh, she tried to make me say when
She had my balls in a vice, but she left the dick
I guess it's still hooked on but now it shoots too quick
Oh God I am the american dream
But now I smell like vaseline
I'm a miserable son of a bitch
Am I a boy or a lady, I don't know which
( I wonder, wonder, I wonder, wonder)
So I went out and bought me a leisure suit
I jingle my change, but I'm still kinda cute
Got a job doing radio promo
And none of the jocks can even tell I'm a homo
Eventually me and a friend
Sort of drifted along into S&M
I can take about an hour on the tower of power
As long as I gets a little golden shower
Oh God, I am the american dream
With a spindle up my butt 'till it makes me scream
And I'll do anything to get ahead
I lay awake nights saying "Thank you, Fred"
F
Oh God, oh God, I'm so fantastic

Thanks to Freddie, I'm a sexual spastic

And my name is Bobby Brown
Watch me now, I'm going down

And my name is Bobby Brown
Watch me now, I'm going down
Simply repeat the chords for the verses and the refrain. The words in
brackets are originally for the background voices. If you sing them,
the most difficult point is the end of "..get a good job", because the
lyrics of the following verse start at the same time as "job".
If there are mistakes in the lyrics: I took them from the ftp.sunet.se
/pub/music/lyrics. Let them know.
I'm not so shure about the "Dm7" chords either, plain "Dm" might do just
fine. Corrections welcome, but don't send them to me, as I will be leaving this account quite soon. Send them to Nevada instead, I'll be back
on the net some other time.

Frank Zappa-Dirty Love

This song has kind of conventional but vaguely funky rhythm to it
I find it difficult to sing and play guitar effectively with this song.

On the actual recorded version I dinnae hear a guitar on some of the rhythem
sections other than the obvious lead parts by Frank; as a result
I have transcribed the keyboard parts for guitar. For a decent live version
check out Zappa's Universe featuring Dweezil and Steve Vai....

G-Spot Tornado
Frank Zappa
-------------------------------------
tabbed by Howard Wright

H.Wright@astro.cf.ac.uk
This is a classic Zappa song - fast, manic, exhilarating tune, quirky

harmonies and rhythmns and lots of his favourite interval - the 4th !
The instrument names I've written down obviously refer to the Yellow
Shark version.
I've tabbed the different variations of the main tune rather than try
and do the whole piece.
To save repeating myself and creating a huge long file,
I've just tabbed out the parts in the variations that are
different from the previous versions.
Once you've got the first two bits sussed (what I've called
tune 1A and 1B) the rest is nearly all repeats of this
with literally just a handful of notes changed.
I've labelled the different lines for tunes 1A and 1B and then just
referred to these later on - e.g in the 3rd tune I've just typed
out one new line and then put - repeat lines 2A to 12A.
I hope this is easy enough to follow.
The rhythmn for this is basically all 8th notes (quavers if you prefer).
Note that the first 8th notes of most bars is a rest - so a lot of
the phrases have 7 notes.
I find it sounds best when you pick all the notes individually rather
than use hammer-ons or pull-offs. If you use one finger per fret
(1st finger - 9th fret, 2nd finger - 10th fret etc) then you can play about
90% of it without changing position.
Tune 1A :

Now it's basically the same tune again but played up two frets so
its in C#m instead of Bm. There is also a two part harmony going with
a few 'quirky' notes stuck in.
Play line 1B, then lines 2A-6A all moved up 2 frets and that will be
about right. If you want to be *really* picky, there is a note missed
out from line 6A (the third note - 9th fret G string).
Tune 1C
--------Strings and flute. Back in Bm.
g_spot_tornado.tab
This is a note-for-note copy of tune 1A except that the

first line has a few different notes.
E-----------------------------------------------------B---10--12-----10-----------------12----10------------G-----------11----9--11--------------11----9----------D-----------------------12--9----------------11--9----A-----------------------------------------------------E------------------------------------------------------
line 1C
Then repeat lines 2A to 12A
Tune 2
-------Clarinet and trombone.
A new, slower tune is introduced here.
E-----------------------------------------------------------B-----------------------------------------------------------G-----------------------------------------------------------D----------------------12-10-------------------------12--12-A------10-10----------------10--10-10--11--11----------12---E--10---------13-10-10-------------------10--11---10---------
E----------------------------------------------------B----------------------------------------------------G----------------------------------------------------D------------------------10-12----10----12-------12--A----11-10---------------------10----10--------------E--10-----13--12-8-10-10-------------------10-10------
E----------------------------------------------------B----------------------------------------------------G----------------------------------------------------D---10-10-10--------------------------10-12----------A------------10------8----------10-10--------12------E-----------------10----10-10-------------------------
g_spot_tornado.tab
Tune 1D
-------Glockenspiel
This variation is made up entirely of repeats of previous bits.

First play line 1B, then lines 2A - 6A.
(But miss out the third note in line 6A)
That tricky middle section

---------------------------It would take me a long time to tab all of this part,
but it starts off like this :
E--------------------------------------------------B-------10--12--10--12--10--12--------10--12--10---G--9-11--------------------------9-11--------------D--------------------------------------------------A--------------------------------------------------E---------------------------------------------------
E--------------9----------------9--------------------B-------10-12--------12--12--10---10-12-10-----------G--9-11----------------------------------------------D--------------------------------------------------A--------------------------------------------------E---------------------------------------------------
E--------------------------------9------------------B----------------10-12-10----------12---12-12--10---G--9-11--9-9--11------------9-11--------------------D--------------------------------------------------A--------------------------------------------------E---------------------------------------------------
E----------9-------------14-14-12-------------------------B-------10----12----12------------14----12--12-------------
g_spot_tornado.tab
G--9-11------------------------------14---------11--11--9-D---------------------------------------------------------A---------------------------------------------------------E---------------------------------------------------------etc etc
(N.B This whole tune is played in parallel 4ths. It's easier to
play the single notes as I've tabbed above, but if you want a
challenge try playing the two harmony parts on the lower strings.
Move the tune down an octave and then add a harmony part a 4th below.
It would start like this :
E------------------------------------------B------------------------------------------G------2-4--2--4--2--4-----2-4-2------2-4-6D--2-4-2-4--2--4--2--4-2-4-2-4-2--2-4-2-4-6- etc )
A--2-4-----------------2-4--------2-4------E-------------------------------------------
To get the hang of the rhythm here all I can suggest is practise
a lot ! After a lot of careful listening I was able to play along
up to this point - but it's hard to keep it going for the whole section!
It's made easier by the fact that the percussion beats out a steady
4/4 beat throughout this section to use as a reference.
The stuff that I've left out after here is quite a large chunk.
After a while the whole ensemble plays this little tune in unison :
E---------------------------------------------9-------B---12-12-10-12-12-10-12-12-10-12-12-10-12-12---10-12-G-----------------------------------------------------D-----------------------------------------------------A-----------------------------------------------------E------------------------------------------------------
E---10-9---------------9------------------B--------12-10-12--12-------10--12--------G------------------------11---------------D-----------------------------------------A-----------------------------------------E------------------------------------------
g_spot_tornado.tab
As before, this tune is actually played in 4ths. It's harder to play

the two parts at the proper speed, but if you want to try, here
is the 2-part version of the same tune :
E--7-7-5-7-7-5-7-7-5-7-7-5-7-7-9-5-7---10-9-7-5-7--7--9-----5--7-B--7-7-5-7-7-5-7-7-5-7-7-5-7-7-9-5-7---10-9-7-5-7--7--9--7--5--7-G--------------------------------------------------------6-------D----------------------------------------------------------------A----------------------------------------------------------------E-----------------------------------------------------------------
After a few little phrases on the brass, there is another little tune
in 4ths (played on the piano). This one is OK to play at full speed as
it uses a couple of open strings to make it easier.
E---7--7-----7-7------2-2-4-0----------------14-14-B---7--7-----7-7-7----2-2-4-0----------------12-12-G----------------6--------------------2-4----11-11-D---------------------------------2-4-2-4----------A---------------------------------2-4--------------E---------------------------------------------------
E---7-7-0-0-2-2-4-0-------------------------B---7-7-0-0-2-2-4-0-------------------------G-------------------------------------------D-------------------------------------------A-------------------------------------------E--------------------------------------------
Quirky harmony bit

------------------Here it shifts key to C#m and you hear the trumpets play some long,
loud notes.
Play lines 1B then 2A-6A moving all notes up a whole tone (2 frets).
(Miss out 3rd note in line 6A).
Last time for Tune 1 !

------------------------
g_spot_tornado.tab
Back to Bm.
Only the last line is different here, so repeat lines
1A - 11A then play this as the last line :
E----------9----------------------------------------B---12-------10--------------12---------------------G------11-------9----------9------------------------D---------------------9-11--------------------------A------------------11-------------------------------E---------------------------------------------------Optional gong crash on the last note !
That's all folks.

Music by Frank Vincent Zappa (1941-1993)
Transcribed by Jeff Langille
- (blee@is.dal.ca)
These are the chord progressions to a bunch of FZ songs that I learned so
I could practice singing them. Get the album and LISTEN for the tempo,
feel, words/melody, etc. All the tunes in this series are _cool_ (I
wouldn't bother doing this if they weren't) so go find'em and play'em!
==============================================================================
Song : Heavenly Bank Account
Album: You Are What You Is (#34, 9/81)
3/4, Key of A
An excellent commentary on religion and politics (this album has some of
the best ever on this subject, IMHO). Its fun to sing too.
The song is fairly straight-forward with only one main progression. But the
bridge fixes anyone who thought they found and easy one. It has a steady
pulse throughout (the lower staff) at the same tempo as the rest of the
song, but Frank decided to sing everything a bit faster, just for fun I
guess ;). I have tried to notate it as clearly as possible but it simply
boils down to singing, in the first phrase, 20 eighth notes in the space
of 14 at the original tempo. The second has 15 over 10, third has 17 over
14 and the last again has 15 over 10. You MUST listen to the song itself
to get the feel of this. My explanation makes it sound harder than it is
but I thought I'd give you my interpretation of what he's doing, for
anyone else who likes to know this kind of thing..:)
*The 7th bar of the VERSE (E) is in 2/4.
The D#mi7b5 chord is played as follows:
6 5 4 3 2 1
<-string (1=high/thin)
x 6 7 6 7 x
<-fret
Play this pattern on the 8th fret (x8989x) for the Fmi7b5 in the intro.

Hope you enjoy this. It is the first of a bunch I have transcribed and
will probably post. These include both CRD and TAB formats depending on
the song. E-mail me if there is a particular ZAPPA tune you would like
to see. Any comment on the transcription/analysis is _encouraged_.

JOE'S GARAGE
FRANK ZAPPA
[THE WHOLE SONG CONSIST OF YOUR BASIC 1-4-5

CHORD PATTERN IN THE KEY OF E.
EX: E\\\A\B\ ETC.]
IT WASN'T VERY LARGE

THERE WAS JUST ENOUGH ROOM TO CRAM THE
DRUMS
IN THE CORNER OVER BY THE DODGE
IT WAS A FIFTY-FOUR
WITH A MASHED UP DOOR
AND A CHEESY LITTLE AMP
WITH A SIGH ON THE FRONT SAID "GENDER CHAMP"
AND A SECOND HAND GUITAR
IT WAS A STRATOCASTER WITH A WHAMMY BAR
WE COULD JAM IN JOE'S GARAGE
HIS MAMA WAS SCREAMING, HIS DAD WAS MAD
WE WAS PLAYING THE SAME OLD SONG
IN THE AFTERNOON AND SOMETIMES WE WOULD
PLAY IT ALL NIGHT LONG
IT WAS ALL WE KNOW AND EASY TOO
SO WE WOULDN'T GET IT WRONG
ALL WE DID WAS BEND THE STRING LIKE... HEY!
DOWN IN JOES GARAGE
WE DIDN'T HAVE NO DOPE OR LSD
BUT A COUPLA QUARTSA BEER
WOULD FIX IT SO THE INTONATION WOULD
NOT OFFEND YER EAR
AND THE SAME OLD CHORDS GOING OVER AND OVER
BECAME A SYMPHONY
WE WOULD PLAY IT AGAIN N AGAIN AND AGAIN
CAUSE IT SOUNDED GOOD TO ME
ONE MORE TIME
WE COULD JAM IN JOE'S GARAGE
HIS MAMA WAS SCREAMING "TURN IT DOWN"

WE WAS PLAYING THE SAME OLD SONG

IN THE AFTERNOON AND SOMETIMES WE WOULD
PLAY IT ALL NIGHT LONG
IT WAS ALL WE KNOW AND EASY TOO
SO WE WOULDN'T GET IT WRONG
EVEN IF YOU PLAYED IT ON THE SAXOPHONE
WE THOUGHT WE WAS PRETTY GOOD
WE TALKED ABOUT KEEPING THE BAND TOGETHER
AND WE FIGURED THAT WE SHOULD
CAUSE ABOUT THIS TIME WE WAS GETTING THE EYE
FROM THE GIRLS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD
THEY'D ALL COME OVER AND DANCE AROUND LIKE...
SO WE PICKED OUT A STUPID NAME
HAD SOME CARDS PRINTED UP FOR A COUPLA BUCKS
AND WE WAS ON OUR WAY TO FAME
GOT MATCHING SUITS AND BEATLES BOOTS
AND A SIGH ON THE BACK OF THE CAR
AND WE WAS READY TO WORK IN A GO-GO BAR
"ONE TWO THREE FOUR, LETS SEE IF YOU GOT SOME
MORE
PEOPLE SEEMED TO LIKE OUR SONG
THEY GOT UP AND DANCED AND MAKE A LOT A
NOISE
AND IT WASN'T 'FORE VERY LONG
A GUY FROM A COMPANY WE CAN'T NAME
SAID WE OUGHT TO TAKE HIS PEN
AND SIGN ON THE LINE FOR A REAL GOOD TIME
BUT HE DIDN'T TELL US WHEN
THESE "GOOD TIMES" WOULD BE SOMETHING'
THAT WAS REALLY HAPPENING
SO THE BAND BROKE UP , AND IT LOOKS LIKE
WE WILL NEVER PLAY AGAIN
GUESS YOU ONLY GET ONE CHANCE IN LIFE
TO PLAY A SONG THAT GOES LIKE . . .
"TURN IT DOWN
I HAVE CHILDREN SLEEPING HERE"
WELL THE YEARS WAS ROLLING BY
HEAVY METAL AND GLITTER ROCK
HAD CAUGHT THE PUBLIC EYE
SNOTTY BOY WITH LIPSTICK ON
WAS REALLY FLYING HIGH
AND THEN THEY GOT THAT DISCO THING
AND NEW WAVE CAME ALONG
AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I THOUGHT THE TIME
HAD COME FOR THAT OLD SONG
WE USED TO PLAY IN JOE'S GARAGE

AND IF I AM NOT WRONG

YOU WILL SOON BE DANCING TO . . .

From: blee@is.dal.ca (Boyd Steven Lee)
Subject: TAB: Frank Zappa, "Marqueson's Chicken" ... Bawk!
Music by Frank Zappa (1940-1993)
- blee@is.dal.ca
========================================================================
Song : Marqueson's Chicken (7:36)
Album: Them or Us (#40, 10/18/84)
This tune is a perfect example of the type of stuff Steve Vai had to put
up with while he was working for Frank. Steve executes the guitar lines
nicely but the coolest parts are the arpeggiated sections originally
played by percussionist Ed Mann. The piece rocks so if you've never
heard it and you like Steve's stuff find a copy of this. (Them or Us
also has the song Stevie's Spanking commemorating Vai's encounter with
Laurel and her favorite _device_ ...;)
The song is not particularly fast (about 112) but requires some decent
strict alternate picking to get everything in time and even.
The time signatures are written under the bar. Don't let the weird ones
scare you. Most of the time the notes are eighths or sixteenths evenly
played over the bar; Frank was very good at making them unobtrusive.
The "%" indicates that the previous bar is repeated once.

Song: Montana (6:36)
Album: Overnite Sensation (#17, 9/7/73)
These parts are based on the original version of Montana (no whipping
floss here!). I've notated the intro and the other interesting melodies
of the tune but the highlight is the Interlude section. While performed
vocally on the album, it (mostly) translates well to the guitar but is
really fun to play, so try it! As with any TAB there is no rhythmic
notation so you HAVE to listen to the song to get it right. Watch out
for the groups of five in the last bar!

Mr Green Genes is a really easy tune to play, and it is
also a good one to illustrate basic elements of harmony
and melody. Here is my arrangement, kind of a composite
of the _Best Band You Never heard.._ and _Hot Rats_ versions.
Here are the main chords....I have used many different voicings
of these chords....
Dm7 - G - Dm7 - G - Dm7 - G - Dm7 - G
Cmaj7 - Am7 - Cmaj7 - Am7
F - G - Am - Bb
Then it repeats again and again until the end, where it goes
F - G - Am - Bb - C - Dm - Dbm - Dm
Now the melody is like this......after doing the above once
(based on the _Hot Rats_ version).
Dm7
G
(4x)
1---------------------------------------------------2---------------------------------------------------3--7--9-10 10 10 10--9 7----7--4-4-4-4-4-5-4---------4------------------------10------------------5-------Cmaj7
Am7 (2x)
2---------------5-6--8----3---------4-5-5----------4--5-5-5-7--------------then the F - G - Am - Bb part goes like this.
Play any chord voicings you want!! Frank plays many.
The soloing is based on the C major scale, all positions.
Play the _Uncle Meat_ version, and the _Hot Rats_ version, and
also the _Best Band_ version... and you will be styling!
now here are the words with the chords....notice how the
above transcribed melody fits beautifully with the words.
I love this song!!

muffin research kitchen,

Reaching for an oversize chrome spoon,
he gathers and intimate quantity of dried muffin remnants.
Brushing his scapular aside, proceeds to dump these inside
of his shirt.
He turns to us and speaks, "Some people like cupcakes better, I for one
care less for them."
Arrogently twisting the sterile canvas snoot of a fully-charged icing
annointment utencil, he puts for a quarter ounce green rossette near
the summit of a dance but radiant muffin of his own design.
Later he says, "Some people, like cupcakes exclusively while myself I
say there is not, nor art there be nothing so exhalted on the face of
god's great earth, as that prince of foods, the muffin.
Girl, you thought he was a man, but he was a muffin.
he hung around till you found that he didn't know nothing.
Girl, you thought he was a man, but he only was a muffin.

There are quite a few phrases like these with lots of notes slurred together
into a run. It's probably a lot easier to do this on a sax (as it's played on
the original) than a guitar, but you can get close on a guitar with a bit of
practice.

ORGAN PART :
-----------These are just the intro chords again, but using different inversions
for a bit of variety.
Again - bass notes are indicated by the chord names (A/B is A triad with
B bass) - but you can't easily play triads and bass notes together on one
guitar.

Title: Sexual Harrassment in the Workplace
Album: Guitar
Transcribed by: Terry Thorne
Email: tthorne@nf.sympatico.ca
I tabbed the rhythym and bass in standard tuning, but
since I'm so lazy, I tabbed the lead as my #1 is tuned
(down 1/2 step). So, if yer gonna play in standard,
adjust it. (I think FZ is tuned down, but I'm not sure)
And listen to the album as you play or it's gonna be
hard to follow

Subject: CRD: Frank Zappa, "Sofa #2"
This is quite an attractive piece of music. It could be commercial, with
a few more margaritas and the right company.
However, I digress.
This is my own favorite song of FZ's to sing. Beautiful melody
(also very common as an instrumental) and bilingual lyrics (they come in
German also).

Song : Son of Suzy Creamcheese
Album: Absolutely Free (#2)
4/4, Key of A
This is a basic song made particularly cool by FZ's subtle use of time
signature changes. When you listen to the song they don't jump out at you
but they make the difference between an average tune and one that's got
something about it. The changes are in the verse so I put the time under
each bar to keep things straight. Play the odd eighth bars with steady
eighth note strums to accent the shifting time. They should all be steady
but just an unusual number of strums.

"The Mammy Anthem" - Frank Zappa

The is a basic arrangement of the header as it appears on You Can't Do

The repeated section is a combination of the various notes played by various
instruments eg the Bb Db Ab Bb series is Frank's guitar. The next riff segues
straight into section A again. This time in section A there is a little riff
played after the G:

After this there is a solo in a kind of Abm tonality. Then section B again and
finally section A again.

===========================================================================
Song : Yo Cats (3:34)
Album: FZ Meets the Mothers of Prevention (#44, 11/21/85)
4/4, Key of F (usually)
This is a cool piece about the music biz and FZ's impression of session
players. This is a fun song to play so if you've never heard it dig up
a copy of FZMMP, well worth it with some excellent, short Synclavier comps.
Some of the chord in this one are questionable. Especially the C/F/Ami/Dmi.
I played with this one a lot before I settled on those chords. Some other
options include G/F/C/Dmi and C/Bb/Ami/G. The B/F#/C#/G... section is
also very weird. These chords work with the melody but harmonically aren't
the greatest in the song (unless you like that sorta thing :0) If you
find alternates let me know.
This song has subjective chords because the progressions are implied
by the melody only. There are no clear chord parts being played.

ZOOT ALLURES
Frank Zappa
----------------------------------------

spxhaw@uk.ac.cf.thor
I think there's already a version of this at Nevada. My tab is quite

similar in terms of the notes used, but the strings and fret numbers
I use are quite different. I think this way it's a lot easier to play
it so you can leave the notes to sustain a little.
This is based more on the live versions of the track than the studio
version.
There's one bit which is quite hard to pull off using just one guitar
- if you have a bass and a guitar you can split the part up to make it
work, but if you're just playing on your own it's a bit tricky so
I've tabbed an alternative part for these shapes - It just uses an
alternative shape for the same chord - it isn't exactly what's on the
record, but it works well and is nice and easy to play.
For this bit I've used curly brackets { to indicate the alternative
lines of TAB - the top line is the 'true' line, the bottom line is
the easier one.

these are a bit of a stretch, so you could try

the other voicing of the same chord I've tabbed below.

You can't get the same three notes leading up to the

FRANK ZAPPA - Zoot Allures

This is the basic arrangement for the header of Zappa's ZOOT ALLURES. This
is most like the original Zoot arrangement heard on You Can't Do That On

Notes:
-The opening notes with the open A-string should be left to ring.
-The area between the double lines is repeated.
-The dots above certain chords means play staccato.
- ' x\ ' means slide down the neck.
Frank also does many different filler riffs during various sections. A
common one that he does during the bit marked with ' * ' is like this:
------------------------------!
-8-8-8-7-5-5-5h7-5h7-8p7-5-7--!
-7-7-7-7-5-5-5h7-5h7-7---5-7--!
-7-7-7-7-5-5-5h7-5h7-7---5-7--!
-5-5-5-5-5-5-5---5-------5-5--!
------------------------------!
Anyway play this with a guitar on the edge of feedback and listen to some
of the great versions Frank does of it to get the timing and phrasing
right.

_Zoot Allures_
by Frank Zappa
transcribed by Jeremy Sarna (hotrats@cloud9.net)
with help from Mike Keneally (boilthat@aol.com)
This transcription is based on the version of Zoot Allures featured on
TBBYNHIYL. The bar lines only separate phrases, and don't correspond
to any musical-notation reality.
This version differs from Howard Wright's version (currently residing
at Nevada) in that some of the chord voicings are different, and the
run at bar 7 is played at the first position, instead of the sixth.
This transcription has been declared accurate by Mike Keneally, FZ's
guitarist during the 1988 tour (who also helped me out with some of
the trickier voicings).

On 'You are what you is' the guitar is played way too well for me to realize what's
being played. But the live version on 'Have I offended someone?' is much more
recognizable. (If you haven't heard it, I'm sure you can get a sound clip from CDNOW
or someplace.)
Oh, and of course I haven't figured out to solo yet.

I'm a
Dancin' fool, I'm a Dancin' fool
The beat goes on And I'm so wrong
The beat goes on 'n' I'm so wrong
I may be totally wrong, but I'm a
Dancin' fool, I'm a dancin' fool
Youwsa, youwsa, youwsa
I got it all together now
With my very own disco clothes, hey!
My shirt's half open, t'show you my chains
'N' the spoon for up my nose
I am really somethin'
That's what you'd prob'ly say
So smoke your little smoke
Drink your little drink
While I dance the night away
I'm a Dancin' fool, I'm a Dancin' fool, (etc., etc.)

FOOL-uh!
Hey darlin'...can I buy ya a drink?
Lookin' for Mister Goodbar? Here he is...
Wait a minute...I've got it...You're an Italian!
Hah?Yer Jewish?
Love your nails...you must be a Libra...
Your place or mine?
