The Man from Utopia Meets Mary Lou
Zappa.
Chord Transcription By: Mark Facchin (c) 2007
Awesome song by Obie Jessie, redone and medley'd with Frank Zappa's
"The Man from Utopia". One of the best tracks on the album (The man
from Utopia). I can't believe no one's submitted this yet, its so easy
:P, give it a good review cause the chord progression in the song is
so very simple lol. This is how my band plays it and it sounds good,
so here ya go! Oh! and for the first pary of the song written by Zappa before it gets to
obie jessie bit, if you want, you can play the G/C/D progression with G#/C#/D#, its up
you, either sound good.

(G slide to A)
Mary lou - she took my cadillac car

Jumped in my kitty and then drove afar
