Rainbow sleeves
Tom Waits sung by Rickie Lee Jones 
Capo 5th fret for same Key as RLJ on Girl at Her volcano EP
Transcribed by Clive Sax
       G  Bm7CCmG D7sus4D7G
Intro:             
             G             Gmaj7
You used to dream yourself away each night
    B7               Em7    Am7
To places that you'd never been
    G             Em
On wings made of wishes
       Am7             D7sus4 D7
That you whispered to yourself.
           G              Bm7
Back when every night the moon and you
       C             Cm             G
Would sweep away to places That you knew
                D7             G
Where you would never get the blues
 B7         Em7              B7
Well now, whiskey gives you wings
          Em7      D        G
To carry each one of your dreams
 G                     Gmaj7
And the moon does not belong to you
    C  B7                Em7                B7
But I believe that your heart Keeps young dreams
                         Em7             A7
 Well, I've been told To keep from ever growing old
       C
And a heart that has been broken
          D7sus4           D7
Will be stronger when it mends
              G               Bm7
Don't let the blues stop you singing
C                            Cm
Darlin', you've only got a broken wing
                G           D7sus4 D7
Hey, you just hang on to my rainbow
G               C
Hang on to my rainbow
G               D7       G
Hang on to my rainbow sleeves
