Tom Waits - Lucky Days



(F#) The prettiest girl
(Bb Ebm) In all the world
(G#m C#7 F#) Is in a little Spanish town
(C#7)
(F# Bb Ebm) But I left her for a Bonnie lass
(G#m) And I told her
(G#7 C#7) I'd see her around

(F# F#7)
But that Bonnie lass
(B) And her heart of glass
(G#) Would not hold a candle
(Rit. C#) To bumming around
(F#) So don't cry for me
(Bb Ebm) Caus' I'm going away
(G#m C#7 F#) And I'll be back some lucky day
(C#7)

(F#) Tell the boys back home
(Bb Ebm) That I'm doing just fine
(G#m C# F#) I left my troubles and woe
(C#7)
(F#)
So sing about me
(Bb Ebm) For I can't come home
(G# G# C# C#7) I've many (many many) more miles to go

(F# F#7) Why, there's Miss Kelsey
(B) She taught dance at our school
(G# C#7) And old Johnny O'Toole I'll still beat you at pool
(F#) So don't cry for me
(Bb Ebm) For I'm going away
(G#m C# F# C#7) And I'll be back some lucky day

(spoken, roaring to be precise)
(F#) Now when I was a boy
(Bb) My daddy sat me on his knee
(Ebm) And he told me
(G#m C#) He told me many things
(F#) And he said son
(C#7) There's a lot of things in this world
(F#) You're gonna have no use for
(Bb Ebm) And when you get blue
(G#) And you've lost all your dreams
(G# C#) There's nothing like a campfire
(C#) And a can of beans

(F# F#7) Why, there's Miss Kelsey
(B) She taught dance at our school
(G#) And old Johnny O'Toole
(C#) I'll still beat you at pool
(F#) So don't cry for me
(Bb Ebm) For I'm going away
(G#m C# F#) And I'll be back some lucky day
(C#7)
(F#) So don't cry for me
(Bb Ebm) For I'm going away
(G#m Rit. C# F#) And I'll be back some lucky day.

Tom Waits - Sea of Love

(Philipe Baptiste/George Khoury)



(Fm6M C7)

(Fm6M C7)
Come with me my love
(Fm6M C#7) to the sea, the sea of love
(Fm6M) I want to tell you
(C#7) How much I love you
(C7) I'm drowning in a sea of love

Do you remember the night we met?
That's the night I knew you were my pet
I want to tell you
How much I love you
I'm drowning in a sea of love

(D# G#) Come with me to the sea
(D# G#) Come with me to the sea
(C7) Oooh yeah.

(Repeat Verse 2 and chorus twice + solo + one more time)
