TRAMPLED ROSE - Tom Waits
-------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Moonred
Capo 3 (chords written as standard)
The main part of the song is 4/4, but the riff at the end of (almost) every line is in
timing. Every instrument kind of does their own thing on the riff, but i think this
the gist of it...

Chorus #1
Dm Am
I found it in the street
Dm Am
At first i did not see
Dm Em Dm
Lying at my feet a trampled rose
Am(riff)
Ahh-ahh-ahh X2
Passing the hat in church
It never stops going rou--nd
You never pay just once
To get the job do--ne
Chorus #2
What I done to you
I done to me
What happened to the trampled rose?
Ahh-ahh-ahh X4
In the muddy street
With the fireworks and lea-ves
Blind man with a cup i asked
If he'd sing "Kisses Sweeter Than Wi-ne"
Chorus #3
I know that rose
Like i know my name
Dm Am
The one i gave my love
Dm Am
It was the same
Dm Em Dm
Now i found it in the street a trampled rose
Am Amaj Am
Ahh-ahh-ahh
Am(riff)
