Road Ladies

FRANK ZAPPA - Road Ladies  from Chunga’s Revenge Intro - Solo Organ D major pentatonic run ending in Straight into Verse 1 (Just Organ Fills  between stopping and starting until the run up to Bb9 A9) Vocal Frank Don’t it ever get lonesome?  yeah!     Don’t it ever get sad when you go out on the road? (Spoken oh there was one time in Minneapolis  when I thought I had the clap for sure)            Don’t it ever get lonesome?  whoa-ho! ( Spoken - lonesome ain’t the word) Don’t it ever get sad when you go out on a thirty day tour? You got nothing but groupies and promoters to love you and a pile of laundry by the hotel door.                             Verse 2 (conventional  12 Bar Blues ) Vocal Frank Don’t it ever get lonesome don’t it ever give a young man the blues? Don’t it ever get lonesome don’t it ever make a young man wanna go back home? When the P.A. system eats it and the band plays some of the most terrible shit you’ve ever known.                          Chorus (Same chords as Verse 2 except at end) Don’t you ever miss your house in the country and your hot little mamma too? Don’t you ever miss your house in the country and your hot little mamma too? Don’t you better get a shot from the doctor for what the Road Ladies do to you.   Verse 3 (conventional  12 Bar Blues - same chords) Vocal Howard (flambé) I know someday I will never I’ll never go out on the road again. I know someday I will never I ain’t gonna roam the country side. No more. I’m gonna hang up little holidays yeah and heal my knees up from when I was doing on the floor. See me doing it! see me doing on the floor. Chorus Don’t you ever miss your house in the country and your hot little mamma too? Don’t you ever miss your house in the country and your hot little mamma too? Don’t you better get a shot from the doctor for what the Road Ladies do to you.   End
