How The Pigs' Music Works chords by Frank Zappa
Skip chords and lyrics
Verse 1
Spider: I think I (G major) can explain (F sharp minor) about about how (G minor) the
pigs' music works
(G major) Monica: Well, this should
be interesting
Spider: Remem (F sharp minor) ber that they make
(G major) music with a (G minor) very dense light
(G major) John: Yeah
Monica: O.K.
(G minor) Spider: And remember (G major) about the smoke (F sharp minor) standing still and how they
they really get uptight when you try to move the smoke, right?
Monic (A flat minor) a: Right
John: Yeah?
(G major) Spider: I think (C major) the music (G major) in that dense light is prob (A minor) ably what makes the smoke stand (G major) still. As soon as the (C major) pony's mane starts to get (G major) good in the back any sort of motion,
especially of (G minor) smoke (G major) or gas, be (C major) gins to make the (F sharp minor) ends split
Monica: Well don't the (G major) splitting ends (F sharp major) change the density of the ponies' music so it (G major) affects
the density of the pig (G minor) s' music, which makes the (F sharp major) smoke move which (G minor) up sets the pig (C major) s?
Spider: No, it isn't like that
John: Well, how does it (G major) work?
Spider: Well, what it does (F sharp minor) is when it (G major) strikes any sort of (F sharp minor) energy field or solid object or even (G major) something as ephemeral as smoke,
the first thing it (F sharp minor) does is (A minor) be gins (F sharp minor) to inactiv (G minor) ate the molecular mo (G major) tion so that it slows down (F sharp minor) and finally (G major) stops. That's why the smoke stops. And (C major) also have you ever noticed (G major) how the the smoke clouds (A minor) shrink up? (G major) That's because the molecules come closer to (G minor) gether. The (G major) cold light makes it get so (F sharp minor) small, this is really (A minor) brittle smoke
John: And that's why the pigs (G major) don't want you
to (A minor) touch it
Spider: See, when the (G major) smoke gets that brittle what
(G minor) happens when you try to move it is it dis (G major) integrates
(A flat minor) John: And the pigs get uptight 'cause you know they,
they (G major) worship that smoke. They salute it every day
Monica: You know we've (B major) got something
here
John: And, and, and, and (B flat minor) that's the basis of all their (G major) nationalism. Like
if they can't salute the (A minor) smoke every morn (G major) ing when they get up . . .
Spider: Yeah, it's a vicious circle. You got it
