WWW.AZCHORDS.COM | Zappa Frank - Joes Garage Bass | Ver. 1
Joe's Garage
and Strictly Commercial among others...
This tab is basically the bass for the single version, but it's almost the
same as the album version. If you don't have Joe's Garage the album, I
sugggest you buy it, it's one of FZ's best (as if there could be any 1 best
Zappa album).

Do that for awhile, then the white zone vocals, then it goes back to that.
This song follows the simple E A B chord pattern, so there you go, now you
can do that, too.
