Well, this is my half-assed attempt at guitar TAB for "Sexy Music" off the
Huevos album. If anyone knows it any better, please let me know, or don't,
and just sit at home feeling superior. Either way....
I'm not very sharp on music theory so I don't know what this chord would be
called, but it's used throughout the song. I would guess it's some sort of
F# chord, but for convenient labeling purposes, I'll just call it an "H
chord."
"H"

D F#/H
Unearthly visions filled my head
A
As I lay there and sexy music
Emaj7?
Tumbled all around

And then the music turned to
F#/H
Emerald feathered goblins
A
That cast their burning pearls
Emaj7?
To the ground
F# H
Fill the tower up with food
F# H
The kind I love to eat

Send a couple maidens

With soft hands to rub my feet

To wipe out what is wrong

Give me all of everything
