Frank Zappa — Lets Make The Water Turn Black Chords
(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.
