The Mud Shark Chords by Frank Zappa, The Mothers

That's right, you heard right.
The secret word [F] for tonight is mud shark.
And of course with the mud shark [B] secret word is the mud shark arpeggio.
[E] _
_ _ [Em] A marvelous little arpeggio.
And now [N] the mating call of the adult male mud shark. _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ The mud shark dancing [B] lesson. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ A little dance, a little dance here for this thing called the mud shark.
Now this dance started [Em] up in Seattle.
[A] Let me tell you the story about the mud [Em] shark.
_ _ [E] _ _ _
_ [B] Bring the band on down behind me boys. _
_ _ _ The origins of the mud shark are as follows.
_ There's a motel in [E] Seattle, Washington
called the Edgewater Inn.
[B] _ _ [Em] The Edgewater Inn is built out on a pier.
_ So that means [E] that when you look out your window you don't see [Bm] any dirt.
Got a bay or something out in your backyard.
_ [Em] _
And to make it even more interesting, _ in the lobby of the aforementioned motel
there's a bait and tackle shop _ where the residents can go down and whenever they want to
rent a [Bm] fishing pole _ [B] and some preserved minnows and schlep back up [E] to their rooms, open the [Em] window,
stick their little pole outside, [B] [E] and within a few minutes actually catch a fish of [Em] some sort
that they can bring into their motel [E] room and do whatever they want with it.
You know what I [Em] mean?
Mud shark.
_ Now in this [B] bay there's quite a variety [Bm] of _ _ _ [Em] fish. _ _
_ _ Not only do they have mud sharks up there, they got [B] little octopuses that you can catch. _
[E] _ _ _ [Em] And all of these denizens of the deep _ can come in real [E] handy.
_ Let's say you were a traveling
rock and [Em] roll band called the Vanilla Fudge. _ _ _
Let's say one night you [B] checked into the Edgewater Inn
with an eight millimeter [E] movie camera. _ _
Enough money to rent a pole. _ _
_ [B] And just to [Em] make it more interesting, _
[E] _ [B] _ _ [Em] a succulent young lady _ _ [E] with a taste for the bizarre.
_ _ [Em] _
_ _ My mind drifts back to [B] a meeting, a chance meeting [Em] in the Chicago O'Hare airport
_ where the members [Bm] of the Vanilla Fudge told Don Preston
about the home movie they [E] made at the Edgewater Inn with a mud shark.
_ _ _ And I'm going to tell you this [B] dance for mud shark is sweeping the ocean.
[Em] _ _ _ _ _ _
Happy mood.
We _
[B] _ _ _ _ [Em] _
go out _ [E] so far, _ _ into the mud shark, baby.
Out we go out so far, _ _ into the mud [Am] shark, baby.
[Em] I'll show you what they do with a mud shark.
Out we go out.
Watch how they do with a mud shark. _
Into the mud shark, baby.
[E] Out we go out so far.
You go out, you do the mud shark baby.
_ [B] You go out, _ _ _ _ you do the mud [Em] shark baby.
You go [E] out, _ _ _ [B] you do the mud shark baby.
[Em] _ You go out, _ _ [E] _ you do the mud shark baby. _ _
[Em] _ [B] _ _ _ [Em] You go _ [B] _ _ _ _ _
[E] _ out, [Em] _ _ _
_ _ _ you do the mud shark baby.
You go out, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
you do the mud shark baby. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _
