Lets Make The Water Turn Black chords by Frank Zappa

Guitar chords with lyrics


Tuning: Standard EBGDAE

Difficulty: Novice



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.


Let's Make the Water Turn Black--Mothers of Invention
From "We're only in it for the Money"

Intro Chords: C(major with added notes) Arpeggios on piano
VERSE 1:
C          Em/B        Am
Now believe me when I tell you that my song is really true
Dm   Em     Fm     G
I want everyone to listen and believe
C        Em/B         Am
It's about some little people from a long time ago
Bb     Eb     Ab        G
And all the things the neighbors didn't know
C      Em/B     Am
Early in the morning Daddy Dinky went to work
Dm        Em    Fm      G
Selling lamps and chairs to San Ber'dino Squares
C      Em/B          Am
And I still remember mama with her apron and her pad
Bb       Am      D
Feeding all the boys in Ed's Cafe

CHORUS:
G      F      G          Am
Whizzing and pasting and pooting through the day
G       Am      Bm       D
Ronnie helping Kenny helping burn his poots away
G      F     Eb     D
And all the while on a shelf in a shed
C             Ab G
Kenny's little creature's on display

VERSE 2:
C        Em/B    Am
Ronnie saves his numies on a window in his room
Dm       Em  Fm    G
A marvel to be seen; dysentery green
C          Em/B     Am
While Kenny and his buddies had a game out in the back
F       G     Am
LET'S MAKE THE WATER TURN BLACK!

BRIDGE:
Em              A
We see them after school in a world of their own
Em                A
To some it might seem creepy what they do...
Em                 C      B
The neighbors on the right sat and watched them every night
Em                 D
I bet you'd do the same if they was you

(CHORUS)

VERSE 3:
C        Em/B     Am
Ronnie's in the Army now and Kenny's taking pills
Dm      Em       Fm   G
Oh! How they yearn to see a bomber burn!
C        Em/B       Am
Color flashing, thunder crashing, dynamite machine!
F       G     Am
Wait till the fire turns green...
F       G     Am
Wait till the fire turns green...
F       G     A(major)
WAIT TILL THE FIRE TURNS GREEN!
