Tom Waits - Franks Theme
From Franks Wild Years
________________________________________________________________
First Tab!  Hope I'm doing it right.  I only worked this out
quickly so it might not be 100%, but then Tom never plays 
anything the same twice anyway, so if I've made mistakes consider
it a tribute.  Ahem.  Great great song, sounds good 
finger-picked on a spanish guitar, but if you've got a Mellotron
to hand all the better.
________________________________________________________________
ADream aC#mway the teDars in your eAyes
C#mDream aF#mway your sDorroEws
ADream C#maway aDll your gooAdbyes
