Uncle Remus (Zappa/Duke)

With gratitude to the transcribers of the other versions,this is how I play it.

G7 Dm   Dm/C              G7/B  Gm7/Bb
  Whoa, are we moving too slow? 
Gm       Bb     Gm        Bb    Gm         
Have you seen us,       Uncle Remus?
F                       F/A             C         F/C  
We look pretty sharp in these clothes(yes,we do)
F                Dm                  G7 
Unless we get sprayed with a hose
         F              F/A             A        A/C#
It ain't bad in the day If they squirt it your way
Dm           Dm/C          G7/B 
'cept in the winter, when it's froze
G7        Bb        C               Dm          
And it's hard if it hits, on your nose 
    G7
(on your nose)
G7           Dm     Dm/C              G7/B  Gm7/Bb
Just keep your nose to the grindstone they say
Gm         Bb   Gm          Bb Gm         
Will that redeem us, Uncle Reemus? 
F                       F/A             C         F/C  
I can't wait til my (a)'fro is full grown
F                Dm                  G7 
I'll just throw 'way my doo-rag at home
                      F         F/A             
I'll take a drive to Beverly hills
A        A/C#              Dm          Dm/C                        
Just before dawn And knock the little jockeys
         G7/B
Off the rich peoples lawn.
G7        Bb        C     Dm      
And before they get up I'll be gone(I'll be

  Bb        C               Dm
