Song title:       Suicide Chump
Original Album:	  You Are What You Is
Other Album:      YCDTOSA Vol. 1

Words and Music by Frank Zappa

NOTES:
This was transcribed from the version on YCDTOSA Vol. 1. The basis for the 
verses is a I, IV, V pattern in D. You could play a sort of rock'n'roll
figure (or variations on that), as I indicate in Guitar Figure 1, or you 
could just play chords. Both ways sound OK.

       D
You're on the bridge; scared to leap,
But a girl walks over to take a peep...

She says, "Don't do it!", but wouldn't you know...
    G
The girl's got a head like a buffalo
With a little red hair all over the top
        D
An' her breath would make the traffic stop
          A                 G
She says,   "I love you but first, let's eat"

And all you can say as you run down the street is...
