My Pet Theory chords by
Frank Zappa
Frank Zappa

N/A
Verse 1
G
F

The Sixties was really stupid
Gm
G

Okay, can you expand on that a

little bit more why you think the
F

Sixties were really stupid?

Well, it was the type of merchandising
G

Americans had this hideous

weakness, y'know?
Eb

They have this desire to be okay-
B
Dm

fun- guys- and- gals
D
Eb
G

And they haven't come to terms with the
F
D

reality of the situation
C

We were not created equal
G

Some people can do carpentry,

some people can do mathematics

Some people are brain surgeons,
F

and some people are winos

And that's the way it is!
Eb

And, we're not all the same!
G

And this concept of one world is when
F

everything blended and
E

Smoothed out to this mediocre norm,
C

that everybody, uh
Eb
G

Downgrades themselves to be, is stupid
F
G
F

And the Sixties was
G

merchandised to the public at large
G

My pet theory about the Sixties is,

that there is a sinister plot behind it

But I don't wanna dwell upon that
F

Okay
G
F

Okay? They just that the lessons
G
Em

learned in the Sixties about

Merchandising stupidity to the American
C
Eb

public on a large scale have been

Used over and over again since
G

that time

"Freak Out!" and "Absolutely
F

Free" influenced a generation

Did they? Didn't sell that much
C

How they influence a generation? Come on,

tell me
F

That's what my questions says here
G

But that wasn't a question,
F

that was a statement

Then it was my statement
G
F

Looking back over all these
E

years and these records

How do you feel about them now?
F#m

About "Freak Out!" and "Absolutely
G
F

Free"?

Hrm, okay, for something that was done as
F

a four- track- recording twenty years ago

Y'know, I wouldn't

sit around listening to them
G

You don't think that they had any
F

influence on people?
C

Well, I know, that a lot of people were

vastly influenced by them
F

I've heard horror stories about that

But so what? They weren't
C

released to be influences

They were released as a form
F

of entertainment for people who

Uh, didn't have that type of entertainment

before

You once said, listen, now that I'm
F

thirty years old

Now that I'm over the hill I really don't

give a shit, I don't care

Now, that you're over forty,

any comments?
G
Gm

Said it once, do I need to say it again?

  • Best Tuning App Ever

    MaddProfessor

    I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

  • Well-Designed App

    Rose the Black Cat

    I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

  • Got me back into playing

    Tuliketsune

    I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

  • Secret weapon

    Brad

    Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

  • Very reliable tuner

    theNewPaul

    This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

  • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

    Caleb Schafli

    It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

  • Great to tune and play

    Lynae T

    I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
