New Coat Of Paint

Tom Waits

Text File

This song is played on the piano but I thought I would do an acoustic version 
cause its a great song. Any corrections would be welcome thanks :D

C#m (X 4 6 6 5 4)
F#  (2 4 4 3 2 2)
A   (5 7 7 6 5 5)
Ab  (4 6 6 5 4 4)

I find that it sounds best if you finger pic it.

Intro: C#m, F#, A, Ab
       C#m, F#, A,Ab,C#m
              
            C#m         F#            A            Ab        
Let's put a new coat of paint on this lonesome old town
C#m         F#       A           Ab
Set 'em up, we'll be knockin' em down.
C#m        F#          A               Ab
You wear a dress, baby, and I'll wear a tie.
              C#m                 F#           A   Ab  C#m           
We'll laugh at that old bloodshot moon in that burgundy sky

Bridge: C#m, F#, A, Ab x3
        C#m, F#, A,Ab,C#m

It repeats like this for the rest of the song 

All your scribbled lovedreams, are lost or thrown away,
Here amidst the shuffle of an overflowing day
Our love needs a transfusion so let's shoot it full of wine
Fishin' for a good time starts with throwin'in your line.

Bridge: C#m, F#, A, Ab x3
        C#m, F#, A,Ab,C#m

Let's put a new coat of paint on this lonesome old town
Set 'em up, we'll be knockin' em down.
You wear a dress, baby, and I'll wear a tie.
We'll laugh at that old bloodshot moon in that burgundy sky

Bridge: C#m, F#, A, Ab x3
        C#m, F#, A,Ab,C#m

Outro: C#m, F#, A, Ab
       C#m, F#, A,Ab,C#m
