Chords for Frank Zappa - Joe's Garage + Lyrics

_ [E] We thank you now for [A] the garage and [E] the odor park. _ _ _ _ _
It wasn't very large, [A] there was just enough [B] room to cram the [E] drums in the corner over by the Dodge.
[A] It was a 54 [B] with a mashed up [E] door and a cheesy little lamp.
[F#m] With a sign on the [B] front said Fender Chap [E] and a second hand guitar.
[A] It was a [C#m] Stratocaster with a [B] whammy bar.
_ _ In _ _
_ [E] Kajal and Joe's garage, [A] his mama was [B] screaming, his dad was [E] mad.
We was playing the same old song [A] in the afternoon [B] and sometimes [E] we would play it all night long.
[A] It was all we [B] knew and easy to [E] do so we wouldn't get it wrong.
_ [A] All we [B] did was bend the [E] string like, _ _ _ [A] _ _ [B] _
[E] hey, down in Joe's garage.
[A] We didn't have no [B] gold for LSD [E] but a couple of parts of beer [A] would fix it [B] so the [E] insulation would not offend your ear.
[A] And the same old [B] chords going over and [E] over became a symphony.
[A] We could play it [B] again and again and [E] again cause it sounded good to me.
_ One more time.
_ _ _ [A] _ _ [B] _
[C#m] [E] In Kajal and Joe's garage, [A] his mama was [B] screaming, turn it [E] down.
We was playing the same old song [A] in the [B] afternoon and sometimes [E] we would play it all night long.
[A] It was all we [B] knew and easy to [E] do so we wouldn't get it wrong.
[F#m] Even if we played it on the [B] [E] saxophone.
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[E] We thought we was pretty good.
[A] We talked about [B] keeping the [E] band together.
We figured that we should.
[A] About this [Bm] time we was getting the [E] eye of the girls in the neighborhood.
_ [A] They'd all come [B] over and dance around like.
_ [D#] _ _ _ _ [D] _
[B] [E] So we picked out a stupid name.
[A] Had some parts printed [B] up for a couple of [E] bucks and we was on our way to fame.
[A] We got matching [B] suits, evil [E] boots and a [G#m] sign on the [C#m] back of the [E] car.
[A] And we was ready to work in a [B] crowbar bar.
[N] 1, 2, 3, 4, I see it, you [E] got some on.
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _
[B] _ [E] People sing it like I saw.
[A] They got up and [B] danced and made a lot of [E] noise and it wasn't for very long.
[A] A guy from my company who [B] can dance [E] and we all take his pan.
_ [A] Signed on the [B] line for a real good [E] time but he didn't tell us when.
[A] This good time [B] could be something [E] that was really happening.
[A] So the band broke up.
[B] And it looks like we will [E] never play again.
_ Guess you [C#] only get one chance in life to [B] play a song that goes like.
[E] _ _ _ [A] _ [C#] _ [B] _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ [D#] _ [C#] _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ [B] _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ [F#m] _ [C#] _ _
[E] Well the years are going by.
[A] Every man and every [D] little [E] dog has got the public eye.
[A] Sonny boy with glitzy [E] dog.
_ _ [A] But then they got that disco [E] thing and the way it came along.
[A] And all of a sudden I found a [E] time.
I called my man old Tom.
[A] He used to play a joke.
[E] If I am right and if I am wrong.
[A] You will soon be dancing [E] to the.
_ _ _ [F#m] _ _ [G#m] _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ [N] _ _ _
_ [E] This is my _ [A] family. _
[B] _ [E] This is _ [A] _ _ [E] _
what we do to one another.

_ This is Mr.
Wolf.

[Bm] _ [E] _ Give me a hug.
[A] _ _ [Bm] _
[E] This is my first janitor.
_ [A] This is my [Bm] parents.
Give [E] me a strong hug.
_ _ [A] _ This is [E] my family.
Give me a strong [A] hug.
This is my husband.

_ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ [E]
My sweet boy.
This is my wife.
_ [A] _ _ [E] _
This is a big [C] screw denizer.
That was Joe's [N] first cup.
With the law.
Naturally we were easy on him.
One of our friendly counselors gave him a donut.
And told him to stick close to church or _ _
