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 *
F G F The stairs sound so lonely without you E7 F F G F A I ain't made my bed in a week, Coffee stains on the paper I'm writing D7 G And I'm too choked up inside to speak F G F Well yes I know that our differences pulled us apart E7 F F G F A Never spoke a word heart to heart, I'm glad that you're gone D7 G F G But I wish to the Lord you'd come home F G F E7 F Yes I'm gla--ad that you're gone, Got the feeling so strong F G F A D7 G F G I'm glad that you're gone, But I wish to the Lord that you'd come home F G F Well my guitar still plays your favorite song E7 F Though the strings have been outta tune for some time F G F A Every time I play a chord, I pray out to the Lord D7 G F G That you'll quit your honkey-tonk and sing my song F G F E7 F Yes I'm gla--ad that you're gone, Got the feeling so strong F G F A D7 G F G I'm glad that you're gone, But I wish to the Lord that you'd come home F G F So I'll Throw another log onto the fire, E7 F And, I'll admit I'm a lousy liar F G F A As the coals die down and flicker, I hear that guitar picker D7 G F G Play the song we used to sing so long ago F G F E7 F Yes I'm gla--ad glad that you're gone, Got the feeling so strong F G F A D7 G F I'm glad that you're gone, But I wish to the Lord you'd come home
