THE MEEK SHALL INHERIT NOTHING

By Frank Zappa

Album: You Are What You Is

FF            Eb MajorEb
Some take the bible for what it's worth
    Bb majorBb maj7               FF
When it says that the meek shall inherit the earth
    FF
Well, I heard that some sheik
      Eb MajorEb
Bought New Jersey last week
  Bb majorBb A augmentedA  G+G  FF   FF  D MajorD  G+G  F*
And you suckers ain't gettin' nothing!

((((This line is all single note in the bass except the FF at the F.))))

Is Hare Rama really wrong
If you wander around with a napkin on
With a bell on a stick
An' your hair is all gone...
(The geek shall inherit nothin')

A^Bb
   You say your life's a bum deal
A^Bb
   And you're up against the wall
FF
Well, people, you ain't even got no kind of deal at all
A^Bb
   'Cause what they do
A^Bb
   In Washington
   G+G         C majorC
They just takes care of number one
  Bb majorBb maj7     C majorC
And number one ain't you
Bb majorBb maj7    C majorC
You ain't even number two!


Those Jesus freaks, well they're friendly but
The shit they believe has got their minds all shut
An' they don't even care
When the church takes a cut
Ain't it bleak when you got so much nothin'

So whaddya do?

     FF
Eat that pork, eat that ham
        Eb MajorEb
Laugh till you choke on Billy Graham
    Bb majorBb maj7                  C majorC
Moses, Aaron and Abraham, they're all a waste of time
  G minorGm          C majorC
And it's your ass that's on the line
 G minorGm          C majorC
(It's your ass that's on the line)

FF         Eb MajorEb
Do what you wanna, do what you will
   Bbmaj7Bbmaj7            FF
Just don't mess up your neighbor's thrill
       FF
And when you pay the bill
    Eb MajorEb
Kindly leave a little tip
       Bbmaj7Bbmaj7             FF
And help the next poor sucker on his one way trip

FF       Bb majorBb  Am7Am7 G minorGm  FF
Some take the bi - ble oh, oh

(Awww, give me half a dozen for the hotel room)
