My Version is similar to the existing one, but i think this one works better, cause i 
dont get the other chord changes, this one works! Also i did the whole Song with Chords 
AND Lyrics which i find is much more comfortable to lay along. Enjoy!!!
Tom Waits – Singapore
[Just the bare chords]
Bm
We sail tonight for Singapore, we're all as mad as hatters here
I've fallen for a tawny moor, took off to the Land of Nod
Em
Drank with all the Chinamen, walked the sewers of Paris
Bm
I danced along a colored wind, dangled from a rope of sand
F#   Bm
You must say goodbye to me
Bm
We sail tonight for Singapore, don't fall asleep while you're ashore
Cross your heart and hope to die, when you hear the children cry
Em
Let marrowbone and cleaver choose, while making feet for children's shoes
Bm
Through the alley, back from hell, when you hear that steeple bell
F#   Bm
You must say goodbye to me
Em   Bm Em  Bm
Wipe him down with gasoline, till his arms are hard and mean
Em   Bm  D     F#
From now on, boys, this iron boat's your home 		So heave away, boys
Bm
We sail tonight for Singapore, take your blankets from the floor
Wash your mouth out by the door, the whole town's made of iron ore
Em
Every witness turns to steam, they all become Italian dreams
Bm
Fill your pockets up with earth, get yourself a dollar's worth
F#   Bm
Away boys away boys, heave away
Em  Bm  Em   Bm
The captain is a one-armed dwarf, he's throwing dice along the wharf
Em   Bm  D     F#
In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is King 	So take this ring
Bm
We sail tonight for Singapore, we're all as mad as hatters here
I've fallen for a tawny moor, took off to the Land of Nod
Em
Drank with all the Chinamen, walked the sewers of Paris
Bm
I danced along a colored wind, dangled from a rope of sand
F#   Bm
You must say goodbye to me
