A probable reason that this song was not (to my knowledge) 
tabbed before is that it is not the typical soft
ballade by Vai or the heavy-style material most
people like of him, but something in the middle.
Also, there are parts in which you could *swear* that two guitars are 
necessary... Anyway, I love it and decided to post 
this approximation because something was better than nothing. Like my
other Vai favorite (Boy from Seattle), this thing can be hard as hell
at full tempo, so take it easy.

And by the way, it is supposed to be a personal tribute 
to Frank Zappa. Corrections and improvements welcome. Cheers.
