Notes:
1. This TAB is a simple transcription of the basic chords and does not pretend to
represent the harmonic complexity that Frank Zappa's MOI band introduced into each
verse.
2. The album features the final version of 'The Mothers of Invention', with George
Duke, Chester Thompson, Ruth Underwood, Tom Fowler and Napoleon Murphy Brock.
