Thou Shalt Not Kill chords by
Frank Zappa
Frank Zappa

N/A
Verse 1
D

You always see the future

by looking backwards, okay?


Let's look backwards.

Rock and roll.

1950, rock and roll is born.

It's an awkward youth

with a sense of humor,

a lot of raw emotion,

and a terrible reputation

because it's a juvenile delinquent.


Ten years later, it grows a conscience,


and it's getting the bad rap.
B

It goes, hey, look what you're doing with the war,
D
Ab

you mongoloids with the long hair
D

and all this stuff, you know.

So in the 70s, it goes suburban.

Corporate rock comes
Ab
D

in, it blends out.

The 80s arrive,

everybody bends over,

you know.

Falwell pulls a string,

the enema comes out,

the entire industry goes,

hey, thanks a lot, we needed that,

okay?

Broadcasters have bent over.

the record companies bent over,


the songwriters either out of ignorance,
Ab
D

they weren't informed of what was happening,


or they just wanted

to keep their mouth shut

to protect their interests.

Nobody said anything.

And meanwhile,

these women with the collars up to here,

who sit there like that,

and with husbands in high places,

are going around doing the most outrageous things

with your rights.

You know, they chose

the record industry

because it's very

easy to make fun of people

who look and act different than you.

They love it that somebody

from Motley Crue

has got hair out like this

and makeup and this stuff,

know,

and they show pictures of,

look at this.

Do you want your child to,

know, that.

They've been doing that since

the beginning.

They did it with Elvis Presley.

And before that, they did it with the fact

that a lot of the performers were black.

Do you want your children

listening to music by Negroes?


You know, it took years before they

could even get that kind of music

on white people's radio stations.

And then white people suddenly said,

hey, big money here,

boom, rock and roll.

But, what they're doing now is very,

it's critical at this point now

because unless somebody stands up and says,

this has got to stop now,
Ab

the 90s are not going to be bent over,

they're going to be lying down.

D

They're either going be lying down


or they're going to be walking like this,


dressed like the people in Red China.

  • 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.
