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
