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).

And so on

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