A Sight For Sore Eyes by Tom Waits

        Another old Waits tune I couldn't find on here, so
        worked out a simple version, I'm not 100% about the
        lyrics, but it's the best I could hear.
        Oh and the Am chord is really just a step up from
        G to C

     Well it's bought and it's paid for,      Parked out-side of the bar
              C                               F             C

Am             C                                F       C
     That we toast to the old days,     And Di-Mag-gio too

                 C           Am                    Dm             G

Am             C                               F             C

       C                Am                 Dm    G   C      G
     Monks still the champion,      Oh but I am the best
              C                               F             C
     And hey barkeep whats keeping you,      Keep pouring drinks

Am             C                                   F            C

          C      Am          Dm           G
     Then go on over and,    Ask her to dance
              C                               F             C

          C          Am                    Dm            G
     For all these palookas,       Hey you know what I thinks
Am            C                                 F       C
