The Man from Utopia Meets Mary Lou
Zappa.


Chord Transcription By: Mark Facchin (c) 2007

Awesome song by Obie Jessie, redone and medley'd with Frank Zappa's

"The Man from Utopia". One of the best tracks on the album (The man

from Utopia). I can't believe no one's submitted this yet, its so easy

:P, give it a good review cause the chord progression in the song is

so very simple lol. This is how my band plays it and it sounds good,

so here ya go! Oh! and for the first pary of the song written by Zappa before it gets to
obie jessie bit, if you want, you can play the G/C/D progression with G#/C#/D#, its up
you, either sound good.

(C) (G)

(G)

(C) (G)
but still, still, still he wouldnt treat her right
(D) (C)

Ahh mary lou (mary lou, mary lou)
(G)
Oh child, you big fool (big fool, bog fool)
(D) (C) (G)

(For the Interlude, mess around with (A) and (G), im not overly sure

what it is. At this time, the song changes a little)

(D - strum with the beat/melody)
I'm going to tell you a story about mary lou

I mean the kind of girl who make a fool of you

She'd make a young man groan and a poor man pain
(D just one strum)
They way she'd take my money was a cryin shame
(G slide to A)
Mary lou - she took my watch and chain
(G slide to A)
Mary lou - she took my diamond ring
(G slide to A)
Mary lou - she took my cadillac car
(D just one strum)
Jumped in my kitty and then drove afar


(D)
Well she picked up from Georgia

moved to Kalamazoo

Made her a fortune outa fools like you

Met her a rich man who was married and

had two kids
(D just one strum)
She stoked that cat till he flipped his lid
(G slide to A)
Mary lou - she took my watch and chain
(G slide to A)
Mary lou - she took my diamond ring
(G slide to A)
Mary lou - she took my cadillac car
(D just one strum)
Jumped in my kitty and then drove afar


(D)
Well she came back to town about a week ago

Told me she was sorry she had hurt me so

I had a '55 ford, and a two dollar bill
(D just one strum)
They way she took that man she gave me a chill
(G slide to A)
Mary lou - she took my watch and chain
(G slide to A)
Mary lou - she took my diamond ring
(G slide to A)
Mary lou - she took my cadillac car
(D just one strum)
Jumped in my kitty and then drove afar


(G)
Ahh, Mary lou (mary lou, mary lou)

Oh child, you big fool (big fool, big fool)
(C)
Ahh, Mary lou (mary lou, mary lou)

Oh child, you big fool (big fool, bog fool)


(D) (C) (G)
You did everything for him that you could do
(D) (C) (G)
You did everything for him that you could do
(D) (C) (G)
You did everything for him that you could do
