xWatermelon in Easter Hay By Frank Zappa Tabbed by Bryce "Zombat" Homick This is a favorite song of mine, this tab is based off the version from Joe's Garage. I had to invent a notation, the b> - which means you bend the string before playing the note, then dropping the bend down - it's like an opposite bend. Combined with a bend, it sounds a lot like a whammy bar (which you can also do.) Anyway, I'm still working on this song, so check back in the week for more - when Zappa starts mixin' it up during the solo I find it hard to tab. We'll see what happens. Either way, this is a little more extensive than the only other tab I can find for the song. 1:23 e|------------------| A|--14b--12---------| D|-----------14-13--| G|------------------| B|------------------| E|------------------| 1:31 e|-------------------------------| A|--14b---12---------------12----| D|------------14-13---13-14------| G|-------------------------------| B|-------------------------------| E|-------------------------------| 1:43 e|-----------------------------------------------------------| A|--b>14b--12------------------------------------------------| D|-------------14-13----13p11-11h13--------------------------| G|----------------------------------14-11-11----14p11----11--| B|-------------------------------------------14-------14-----| E|-----------------------------------------------------------| 1:52 e|---------------------------------| A|-------------14p12---------------| D|-------11-13-------13-11---------| G|-11-14-------------------h14-14--| B|---------------------------------| E|---------------------------------| 2:00 e|---------------------| A|--14b--12------------| D|-----------14-13-13--| G|---------------------| B|---------------------| E|---------------------| 2:09 e|--------------------------------| A|--14b--12------------------12---| D|-----------14-13-13---13h14-----| G|--------------------------------| B|--------------------------------| E|--------------------------------| 2:19 e|-----------------------------------------------------------| A|--b>14b-12-------------------------------------------------| D|------------14-13-13--13p11-11h13--------------------------| G|----------------------------------14-11-11----14p11----14--| B|-------------------------------------------14-------11-----| E|-----------------------------------------------------------| 2:39 e|------------------------------------| A|--------------14p12-----------------| D|--------11-13-------13p11-11-11p9-9-| G|--11-14-----------------------------| B|------------------------------------| E|------------------------------------| 2:49 e|--------------------| A|--------------------| D|--7h9/10-9p7-6---6--| G|---------------9----| B|--------------------| E|--------------------| 2:59 e|----------------------------| A|--7h9/10-9w-/7-6---6-9p7p6--| D|-----------------9----------| G|----------------------------| B|----------------------------| E|----------------------------| 3:06 e|--------------------| A|--------------------| D|--7h9/10-9p7-6---6--| G|---------------9----| B|--------------------| E|--------------------| 3:10 e|--------------------------------------------------| A|--------------------------------------------------| D|------------------------------------4-------------| G|--6p4-4h6-----------------------4-6---h6p4h6p4----| B|---------7-4-4-4---7p4---4--4-7----------------7--| E|-----------------7-----7--------------------------| 3:18 e|--------------------| A|--14b-12------------| D|----------14-13-13--| G|--------------------| B|--------------------| E|--------------------| 3:28 e|-------------------------------| A|--14b 12------------------12---| D|----------14-13--13--13h14-----| G|-------------------------------| B|-------------------------------| E|-------------------------------| 3:37 e|-----------------------------------------------------------| A|--b>14b--12------------------------------------------------| D|-------------14-13----13p11-11h13--------------------------| G|----------------------------------14-11-11----14p11----11--| B|-------------------------------------------14-------14-----| E|-----------------------------------------------------------| 3:50 e|-----------------------------------------------------| A|--------------14-12----------------------------------| D|--------11-13-------13-13-13bp11-11h13p11------------| G|--11-14-----------------------------------14---------| B|-----------------------------------------------------| E|-----------------------------------------------------| ************************************ | p Pull off | h hammer on | / slide | b Bend | b> play note bent ************************************
