Road Ladies chords by Frank Zappa

(A Standard Blues in D - A Zappa song everyone can attempt)
Intro – Solo Organ D major pentatonic run ending in
A7 D7
Straight into Verse 1 (Just Organ Fills between stopping and starting
until the run up to Bb9 A9) Vocal Frank
D7                  G7
Don't it ever get lonesome? yeah!
                                         F   D7
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)
D7/F# G                        C     G7
      Don't it ever get lonesome? whoa-ho! (Spoken - lonesome ain't the word)
                                          F   D7
Don't it ever get sad when you go out on a thirty day tour?
     A7                      G7
You got nothing but groupies and promoters to love you
                  D    D7/F# G Abdim A7 Bb9 A9
and a pile of laundry by the hotel door.

Verse 2 (conventional 12 Bar Blues) Vocal Frank
D7
Don't it ever get lonesome, don't it ever give a young man the blues?
G7
Don't it ever get lonesome, don't it ever make a young man wanna go back
D7
home?
     A7        G7
When the P.A. system eats it, and the band plays some of the most terrible
           D D7/F# G Abdim A7 Bb9 A9
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
D7        A7   to Solo over 12 Bar
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
D7              A7
Road Ladies do to you.
