This is a Tom Waits song, beautifully covered by Cosmo Sheldrake on his YouTube channel:

I love this version, although mind that Cosmo changed the chords, words, and melody up quite a bit. He also
tuned his guitar not quite half a step down if you want to play along. All the chords are relative to the
half step down, so in reality the song is in Bbm. He does some fun stuff with the bass notes, I would
recommend watching the video for it. Furthermore, he plays some of his F#7 chords as follows:
F#7: x1x320
[Verse 1]
The Bmbroken Gglass and theBm rusty Gnails
DDown where the Awild violets gDrow F#7
Say goodBmbye to the rGailroad and the Bmmad dogs of Gsummer
And Deverything that F#I used to kBmnow
[Chorus 1]
GSome people do it for Bmdiamonds
GSome people do it for Bmgold
GGounded, but you just keep on cBmlimbin'
And sGleep by the side of the roa - oF#ad
There's a Bmhole in the lBm/A#adder, a fBm/Aence we can cEmlimb
EmMad as a hBmatter, you're Em/Gthin as a dF#7ime
Go Bmout to the mBm/A#eadow, the hBm/Aills are a-gEmreen
EmSing me a rBmainbow, sF#teal me a dBmream
[Verse 2]
BmSmall time NGapoleons sBmhattered his kGnees
DBut he sAtays in the sDaddle for F#7Rose
And Bmall his discGiples, they sBmhave in the Ggutter
And they gDather what's lF#eft of his Bmclothes
[Chorus 2]
GSome people do it for Bmdiamonds
GSome people do it for Bmgold
GGounded, but you just keep on cBmlimbin'
And sGleep by the side of the roa - oF#ad
There's a Bmhole in the lBm/A#adder, a fBm/Aence we can cEmlimb
EmMad as a hBmatter, you're Em/Gthin as a dF#7ime
Go Bmout to the mBm/A#eadow, the hBm/Aills are a-gEmreen
EmSing me a rBmainbow, sF#teal me a dBmream
