This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

SLEEP DIRT - Frank Zappa

----------------------------

Tabbed by Sharon Frenkel

shrfrn@netvision.net.il

This is the accompaniment for the SLEEP DIRT track on the

SLEEP DIRT Album. It has several reefs that are repeated, but

never in the exact same order, so I've just laid them all down

in sequence. You'll thus find many repetitions.

Those of you familiar with the track will catch up quickly.

The rest of you - Get the Album!!!

I haven?t seen a version of this before so I hope this is a nice

contribution. If any of you ever get the solo nailed down (Dah!)

and transcribed (ya right!), please let me know.
