Lucille Has Messed My Mind Up
(Jeff Simmons and Frank Zappa)
I must admit (almost sacrilegious), that I don’t really like the reggae version on Joe’s
Garage Part one, and think it could have been reworked, so this arrangement is more in
the nature of a “normal” ballad.
I express my indebtedness to Version 1
Possibly there should be a chick flick video made about why Joe should have stayed with
his previous girlfriend Mary?
I like to increase the “power ballad” quotient by slightly changing the chords (see at
the bottom of the tab).

I haven’t carefully tracked the guitar parts so treat this as an arrangement rather than
an attempt to perfectly tab the record.
