Tom Waits

Text File

(guitar players can use cappo on 1st and decrease all chords with half a tone)
but i think this song is just for piano
c#
Phone's off the hook
f#
No one knows where we are
c#
It's a long time since I
g#
Drank champagne
Bbm       g#
The ocean is blue
    f#           c#
As blue as your eyes
          c#             g#
I'm gonna take it with me
       c#
When I go

Old long since gone
Now way back when
We lived in Coney Island
Ain't no good thing
Ever dies
I'm gonna take it with me
When I go

        Bbm Bbm/g# f#maj7
Far far away a train
          c#
Whistle blows
            Bbm Bbm/g# f#maj7
Wherever you're goin
               g#
Wherever you've been
        Bbm Bbm/g# f#maj7
Waving good bye at the end
         c#
Of the day
               Bbm Bbm/g# f#maj7
You're up and you're over
               g#
And you're far away

Always for you, and
Forever yours
It felt just like the old days
We fell asleep on Beaula's porch
I'm gonna take it with me
When I go

All broken down by
The side of the road
I was never more alive or
Alone
I've worn the faces off
All the cards
I'm gonna take it with me
When I go

Children are playing
At the end of the day
Strangers are singing
On our lawn
It's got to be more
Than flesh and bone
All that you're loved
Is all you own

In a land there's a town
And in that town there's
A house
And in that house
There's a woman
And in that woman
There's a hart I love
I'm gonna take it
With me when I go
I'm gonna take it
With me when I go
