Song : Son of Suzy Creamcheese

Album: Absolutely Free (#2)

4/4, Key of A

This is a basic song made particularly cool by FZ's subtle use of time

signature changes. When you listen to the song they don't jump out at you

but they make the difference between an average tune and one that's got

something about it. The changes are in the verse so I put the time under

each bar to keep things straight. Play the odd eighth bars with steady

eighth note strums to accent the shifting time. They should all be steady

but just an unusual number of strums.
