(I DID NOT TAB THIS BUT GOD BLESS THE MAN WHO DID)
Here's a nice little "folk" song from Zappa. Supposedly all events actually
took place. The song is played rather fast in a possible 2/4 time signature
with most chords taking two beats. Comments are welcome. Enjoy.

From "We're only in it for the Money"
Intro Chords: C(major with added notes) Arpeggios on piano

CNow believe me when Em/BI tell you that my Amsong is really true
DmI want Emeveryone to Fmlisten and Gbelieve
CIt's about some Em/Blittle people from a Amlong time ago

CAnd I still Em/Bremember mama with her Amapron and her pad
BbFeeding all the Amboys in Ed's DCafe
CHORUS:

CKenny's little creature's Abon Gdisplay
VERSE 2:
CRonnie saves his Em/Bnumies on a Amwindow in his room
DmA marvel to be Emseen; Fmdysentery Ggreen
CWhile Kenny and his Em/Bbuddies had a Amgame out in the back
FLET'S MAKE THE GWATER TURN AmBLACK!
BRIDGE:
EmWe see them after school in a Aworld of their own
EmTo some it might seem creepy what Athey do...
EmThe neighbors on the right sat and Cwatched them Bevery night
EmI bet you'd do the same if they was Dyou
(CHORUS)
VERSE 3:
CRonnie's in the Em/BArmy now and AmKenny's taking pills
DmOh! How they Emyearn to see a Fmbomber Gburn!
CColor flashing, Em/Bthunder crashing, Amdynamite machine!
FWait till the Gfire turns Amgreen...
FWait till the Gfire turns Amgreen...
FWAIT TILL THE GFIRE TURNS A(major)GREEN!
