Mr Green Genes is a really easy tune to play, and it is 
 also a good one to illustrate basic elements of harmony
 and melody. Here is my arrangement, kind of a composite
 of the _Best Band You Never heard.._ and _Hot Rats_ versions. 
 Here are the main chords....I have used many different voicings
 of these chords....
 Dm7 - G - Dm7 - G - Dm7 - G - Dm7 - G 
 Cmaj7 - Am7 - Cmaj7 - Am7
 
 F - G - Am - Bb
 
 Then it repeats again and again until the end, where it goes
 
 F - G - Am - Bb - C - Dm - Dbm - Dm
 
 Now the melody is like this......after doing the above once 
 (based on the _Hot Rats_ version).
    Dm7                         G		(4x)
 1----------------------------------------------------
 2----------------------------------------------------
 3--7--9-10 10 10 10--9 7----7--4-4-4-4-4-5-4----------
 4------------------------10------------------5--------
          
 	 Cmaj7     Am7	(2x)	
 2---------------5-6--8-----
 3---------4-5-5-----------
 4--5-5-5-7---------------
 
 then the F - G - Am - Bb part goes like this.
 
 Play any chord voicings you want!! Frank plays many.
 The soloing is based on the C major scale, all positions.
 Play the _Uncle Meat_ version, and the _Hot Rats_ version, and 
 also the _Best Band_ version... and you will be styling!
 
 
 now here are the words with the chords....notice how the
 above transcribed melody fits beautifully with the words. 
 I love this song!!
