Chords
Another old Waits tune I couldn't find on here, so
worked out a simple version.
This is for the version on "Foreign Affairs" album.
The Am chord at the start of each the third
line is really just a step up from G to C.
Play It Like This
G C
A|----0-2-3--|
E|--3--------|Where there is a C Chord Followed by an Am,
you can always stick a C/B in there.
C/B = X20010, Should the mood take you.
INTRO: Is Played To The Air Of "Auld Lang Syne"
C D C F For Auld Land Syne, My Dear, For Auld Lang Syne C D C F C We'll Take A Drop Of Kind, My Dear, For The Sake Of Auld Lang Syne
Mr. Waits is giving us a subtle lesson in how to take one song and
turn it into another.
