(This is a very simple chord progression, and if you've played a lot of Tom Waits then
will probably seem familiar. Doesn't make it any less fantastic.)
(You may want to change from Am to A7 just before you go into a Dm, and occasionally lead
to the E7 with an Ebdim7 to make it a bit more interesting.)
AmDot King was whittled from the bone of Cain
Amwith a little drop of poison in the E7red, red blood
AmShe need a way to turn around the Dmbend
She said I Dm7want to walk awCay and start E7over agAmain.
AmThere are things I've done I can't erase
AmI want to look in the mirror, see E7another face
AmI said never would I do it aDmgain
I Dm7want to walk awCay, start E7over agAmain.
DmNo more Amrain
E7No more Amroses
DmOn my Amway, Cshake my thirst in a E7cool, cool pond.
AmThere is a widower in every place
AmThere is a heart that's beating in eE7very page
AmThe beginning of it starts at the Dmend
When it's Dm7time to walk awCay and start E7over agAmain.
AmWeather is murder at a hundred and three
AmWilliam Ray shot Corabell E7Lee
AmA yellow dog knows when he has Dmsinne
You Dm7want to walk awCay and staE7rt over Amagain.
DmNo more Amrain
E7No more Amroses
DmOn my Amway, Cshake my thirst in a E7cool, cool pond.
AmCooper told Maui the whole block is gone
AmThey're dying for jewelry, money, and E7clothes
AmI always get out of the trouble I'm Dmin
I Dm7want to walk awCay, start E7over agAmain.
AmI left my bible by the side of the road
AmCarve my initials in an old dead E7tree
AmI'm going away but I'm going to be back Dmwhen
It's Dm7time to walk awCay and staE7rt over Amagain.
