Noticed that no-one had posted this great old Waits tune, so here ya'll go
With some basic fill in bass string runs from the G chord up to the B7
and again from the G down to the E chord this sounds pretty passable
If you like it rate it, * flatwound *
PONCHO'S LAMENT
Tom Waits
The stGairs sound so loDnely withGout you
B7 I ain't made my bed in a wCeek, Coffee stCains on the pDaper I'm wriGting E
And I'm tA7oo choked up inside to sDpeak
Well yes I kGnow D that our differences G pulled us apart
B7 Never spoke a word heart to heCart, I'm gClad tDhat you're gGone E
But I wA7ish to the LDord you'd come hGome D
Yes I'm gGla--aDd that you're gGone,B7 Got the feeling so stCrong
I'm glCad tDhat you're gGone,E But I wA7ish to the LDord that you'd come hGome D
Well my guGitar still plDays your favGorite song
B7 Though the strings have been outta tune for some tCime
Every tCime I play a chDord, I pGray out to the LEord
That you'll qA7uit your honkey-tDonk and sing my sGong D
Yes I'm gGla--aDd that you're gGone,B7 Got the feeling so stCrong
I'm glCad tDhat you're gGone,E But I wA7ish to the LDord that you'd come hGome D
G So I'll Throw another lDog onto the fGire,
B7 And, I'll admit I'm a lousy liar C
As the cCoals die down and flDicker, I hGear that guitar piEcker
Play the sA7ong we used to sDing so long aGgo D
Yes I'm gGla--aDd glad that you're gGone,B7 Got the feeling so stCrong
I'm glCad tDhat you're gGone,E But I wiA7sh to the LoDrd you'd come hoGme
