Frank Zappa - Joe's garage chords
Start Jamming...
[E] We take you now to a [A] garage [E] in the Oldham Park.
[A] [B]
[E] [A] [B]
[E] [A] [B]
[E] [A] [B]
We [E] could jam in Joe's garage.
[A] His Mama was screaming [B] and his Dad was mad.
[E] We was playing the same old song [A] in the afternoon
[B] And [F#] sometimes we [E] would play it all night long.
[A] It was all we knew [B] and [F#] easy too [E] so we wouldn't get it wrong.
[A] All we did [B] was bend the string [E] like
Hey [A] [B]
[E] down in Joe's garage.
We [A] didn't have no go [B] for LSD, [E] but a couple of quarts of beer
[A] Would fix it so [B] the insulation [E] would not append to me
[A] Had the same old chords [B] going over [E] and over the same old symphony
[A] We could play it again and [B] again and again, [E] cause it sounded good to me
Wine, boar, and tide
We [A] [B]
[C#] [E] could jam in Joe's garage
[A] His mama was screaming, [B] turn it down
[E] We was playing the same old song [A] in the afternoon
[B]
Sometimes we [E] were playing all night long
[A] It was all we knew, [B] and easy to do, [E] so we wouldn't get it [A] wrong
Even if we played it [B] on the saxophone
[E] We [A]
[B]
[E] thought we was pretty good
[A] We talked about keeping [B] the band together, [E] we figured that we should
[A] Cause about this time [Bm] we was getting the eye [E] from the girls in the neighborhood
[A] They don't come [B] over and dance aloud like
[N] So
[B] [E] we kicked out of Scooby Dane
[A] Had some cards printed [B] up for a couple of bucks [E] and we was on our way to Maine
[A] Got matching [B] suits, equal [E] boots, and a [G#m] sign on the back [C#m] of the car
[E] [A] And we was ready to [B] work in a go-go bar
One, [N] two, three, four, that's a hit, we've got [E] some more
[A] [B]
[E] People seemed to like our song
[A] They got up and [B] danced and made a lot of [E] noise and it worked for very long
[A] A guy from a [B] company who danced [E] named Trilliard will take his pen
[A] And sat on the [B] line for a real good [E] time but he didn't tell us when
[A] His moves out [B] would be something [E] that was really happening
[A] So the band broke up [F#m] [G#m] and it looks like [E] we will never play again
Guess you [N] only get one chance in life to [B] play a song that [E] goes like
Well [A] [C#] [G#m]
[E] [A] [E]
[B] [C#m] [A] [B]
[E] [F#m] [C#]
[E] he gives a throw [A] and he never lets [E] me go dry
I'm a public guy, [A] smiley boy with a flippy [E] car, really fly
But [A] this ain't got that disco [E] thing that New Wave came along
[A] And all of a sudden I find the [E] time and I'm on that old song
[A] We used to play a joke and [E] laugh and if I have my [A] brawn
You will soon be dancing to [E] that
[A] [B]
[E] [N] This is the way it's [E] gonna be
[A]
[E] [A] We're [E]
gonna burn in the [A]
[B] [E] kitchen with the fire
[A] [E]
This is the way, [A] this is the [Bm] way we're [E] all surrounded
You got that, [A] you got that, you [E] got that, you got that, you got that
[A] This is the way, [Bm] you [E] got that, [A]
[B] [E] you got that, you got that
You know what, you know what, you know what, you know what
[A] You [B] know what, [E] you know what, you know what
[A] This [E]
is the syndrome, [N] Schrodinger
That was Joe's first come 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-oriented activities
