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 stFairs sound so loGnely withFout you
E7 I ain't made my bed in a wFeek, Coffee stFains on the pGaper I'm wriFting A
And I'm tD7oo choked up inside to sGpeak
Well yes I kFnow G that our differences F pulled us apart
E7 Never spoke a word heart to heFart, I'm gFlad tGhat you're gFone A
But I wD7ish to the LGord you'd come hFome G
Yes I'm gFla--aGd that you're gFone,E7 Got the feeling so stFrong
I'm glFad tGhat you're gFone,A But I wD7ish to the LGord that you'd come hFome G
Well my guFitar still plGays your favForite song
E7 Though the strings have been outta tune for some tFime
Every tFime I play a chGord, I pFray out to the LAord
That you'll qD7uit your honkey-tGonk and sing my sFong G
Yes I'm gFla--aGd that you're gFone,E7 Got the feeling so stFrong
I'm glFad tGhat you're gFone,A But I wD7ish to the LGord that you'd come hFome G
F So I'll Throw another lGog onto the fFire,
E7 And, I'll admit I'm a lousy liar F
As the cFoals die down and flGicker, I hFear that guitar piAcker
Play the sD7ong we used to sGing so long aFgo G
Yes I'm gFla--aGd glad that you're gFone,E7 Got the feeling so stFrong
I'm glFad tGhat you're gFone,A But I wiD7sh to the LoGrd you'd come hoFme
