A Sight For Sore Eyes

Tom Waits

Text File

        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

                if you like it? please rate it

         C                                  F           C
     A sight for sore eyes,        It's a long time no see
              C            Am              Dm           G
     Workin' hard hardly workin',      Hey man you know me
Am           C                            F          C
     Water under the bridge,      Did ya see my new car
                 C              Am                        Dm          G
     Well it's bought and it's paid for,      Parked out-side of the bar
              C                               F             C

          C           Am                    Dm           G
     For all these palookas,       Hey you know what I thinks
Am             C                                F       C
     That we toast to the old days,     And Di-Mag-gio too
                C           Am                 Dm      G   C   G   G

     Oh you know the ol' gang ain't around,     Everyone has left town
                 C           Am                    Dm             G
     'Cept for Thelma 'n' Giardina,     Said they just might be down
Am             C                               F             C
     Oh half drunk all the time,      An' I'm all drunk the rest
       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
          C           Am                    Dm           G
     For all these palookas,       Hey you know what I thinks
Am             C                                F       C
     That we toast to the old days,     And Di-Mag-gio too

     Guess you heard about Nash,      He was killed in a crash
              C             Am                  Dm        G
     Oh that must have been two,      Or three years ago now
Am             C                                   F        C
     Yeah, he spun out and he rolled,      Hit a telephone pole
          C              Am   Dm     G
     And died with the radio  on
                  C                               F            C

               C           Am                     Dm     G
     He's up north for a nickles worth,      For armed robbery
Am             C                                   F            C
     And I'll play you some pinball,       No you ain't got a chance
          C      Am          Dm           G
     Then go on over and,    Ask her to dance
              C                               F             C
     And hey barkeep whats keeping you,      Keep pouring drinks
          C          Am                    Dm            G
     For all these palookas,       Hey you know what I thinks
Am            C                                 F       C
