Tango Till They're Sore
Tom Waits
From Raindogs (1985)
[Intro]
Em   Am  B7  Em
[Verse 1]
Well ya play that tarantella
All the hoAmunds will start to roll
The B7boys all go ta hell 
And then the EmCubans hit the floor
And they drive along the pipeline
They Amtango 'till they're sore
They B7take apart their nightmares 
And they Emleave 'em by the door
[Chorus]
Let me Amfall out of the window 
With conB7fetti in my hair
EmDeal out Jacks or better 
On a Amblanket by the stairs
I’ll B7tell you all my secrets
But I Emlie about my past
So Amsend me off to B7bed for ever Emmore
[Verse 2]
Make sure they play my theme song
I guess Amdaisies will have to do
Just B7get me to New Orleans
And paint Emshadows on the pews
Turn the spit on that pig
And kick the Amdrum and let me down
Put my B7clarinet beneath my bed
Till EmI get back in town
[Chorus]
Let me Amfall out of the window 
With conB7fetti in my hair
EmDeal out Jacks or better 
On a Amblanket by the stairs
I’ll B7tell you all my secrets
But I Emlie about my past
So Amsend me off to B7bed for ever Emmore
[Verse 3]
Just make sure she's all in calico
In the Amcolor of a doll
Wave the B7flag on Cadillac day
And a Emskillet on the wall
Cut me a switch
Or hold your Ambreath till the sun goes down
Write my B7name on the hood
Send me off Emto another town
[Chorus]
Let me Amfall out of the window 
With conB7fetti in my hair
EmDeal out Jacks or better 
On a Amblanket by the stairs
I’ll B7tell you all my secrets
But I Emlie about my past
So Amsend me off to B7bed for ever Emmore
Let me Amfall out of the window 
With conB7fetti in my hair
EmDeal out Jacks or better 
On a Amblanket by the stairs
I’ll B7tell you all my secrets
But I Emlie about my past
So Amsend me off to B7bed for ever Emmore

Tango Till They're Sore

Tom Waits

From Raindogs (1985)

[Intro]

Em Am B7 Em

[Verse 1]

Well ya play that tarantella

All the hounds will start to roll

The boys all go ta hell

And then the Cubans hit the floor

And they drive along the pipeline

They tango 'till they're sore

They take apart their nightmares

And they leave 'em by the door

[Chorus]

Let me fall out of the window

With confetti in my hair

Deal out Jacks or better

On a blanket by the stairs

I’ll tell you all my secrets

But I lie about my past

Am B7 Em

So send me off to bed for ever more

[Verse 2]

Make sure they play my theme song

I guess daisies will have to do

Just get me to New Orleans

And paint shadows on the pews

Turn the spit on that pig

And kick the drum and let me down

Put my clarinet beneath my bed

Till I get back in town

[Chorus]

Let me fall out of the window

With confetti in my hair

Deal out Jacks or better

On a blanket by the stairs

I’ll tell you all my secrets

But I lie about my past

Am B7 Em

So send me off to bed for ever more

[Verse 3]

Just make sure she's all in calico

In the color of a doll

Wave the flag on Cadillac day

And a skillet on the wall

Cut me a switch

Or hold your breath till the sun goes down

Write my name on the hood

Send me off to another town

[Chorus]

Let me fall out of the window

With confetti in my hair

Deal out Jacks or better

On a blanket by the stairs

I’ll tell you all my secrets

But I lie about my past

Am B7 Em

So send me off to bed for ever more

Let me fall out of the window

With confetti in my hair

Deal out Jacks or better

On a blanket by the stairs

I’ll tell you all my secrets

But I lie about my past

Am B7 Em

So send me off to bed for ever more
