  Song : Yo Cats (3:34)

  Album: FZ Meets the Mothers of Prevention (#44, 11/21/85)

  

  4/4, Key of F (usually)

  

  This is a cool piece about the music biz and FZ's impression of session

  players.  This is a fun song to play so if you've never heard it dig up

  a copy of FZMMP, well worth it with some excellent, short Synclavier comps.

  Some of the chord in this one are questionable.  Especially the C/F/Ami/Dmi.

  I played with this one a lot before I settled on those chords. Some other

  options include G/F/C/Dmi and C/Bb/Ami/G.  The B/F#/C#/G... section is

  also very weird.  These chords work with the melody but harmonically aren't

  the greatest in the song (unless you like that sorta thing :0)  If you

  find alternates let me know.

  This song has subjective chords because the progressions are implied 

  by the melody only.  There are no clear chord parts being played.
