"The Mammy Anthem" - Frank Zappa 
 
The is a basic arrangement of the header as it appears on You Can't Do 
That On Stage Anymore VolI. Note on the original there are 3 guitar parts, 
but this is a kinda solo guitar arrangement. 
 
(section A) 
                              3X 
 D       G   F   D     F    G      D# 
-2-2-2---3---1---2---------------!!------------! 
-3-3-3---3---1---3-----10---12---!!-8----------! 
-2-2-2---4---2---2-----10---12---!!-8----------! 
-0-0-0---5---3---0-----10---12---!!-8----------! 
-----------------------8----10---!!-6----------! 
---------------------------------!!------------! 
 
(Note: Repeat section before double line.) 
 
Repeat section A then: 
 
(section B) 
                             3X 
-------!--------!-------!-------!!-----------------------!

--6----!-9------!-4-----!-6-----!!-3-3-0-3--3-0-3--3-0-3-!

The repeated section is a combination of the various notes played by various 
instruments eg the Bb Db Ab Bb series is Frank's guitar. The next riff segues 
straight into section A again. This time in section A there is a little riff 
played after the G: 
 
--------------------------------------|

-3-3-2---3----3-2-3-2-----------------| 
----------------------1---------------| 
 
After this there is a solo in a kind of Abm tonality. Then section B again and 
finally section A again.
