Tom Waits – Tom Trauberts Blues (Guitar)

G                       D/F#                         Em7        A7        D      Em7   D/F#
Wasted and wounded, it ain't what the moon did, I've got what I paid for now

G                      D/F#                   E7                 A7
See you tomorrow, hey Frank, can I borrow a couple of bucks from you

       D         Em11           D/F#     G
To go waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda,

D/F#                  Em11        A7
You'll go waltzing Matilda with me

G                            D/F#
I'm an innocent victim of a blinded alley

Em7                        A7        D      Em7   D/F#
And I'm tired of all these soldiers here

G                           D/F#                        E7                 A7
No one speaks English, and everything's broken, and my Stacys are soaking wet

       D         Em11      D        G
To go waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda,

D/F#                  Em11        A7
You'll go waltzing Matilda with me

G                                D/F#
Now the dogs are barking and the taxi cab's parking

Em7             A7     D      Em7   D/F#
A lot they can do for me

G                            D/F#                       E7                A7
I begged you to stab me, you tore my shirt open, and I'm down on my knees tonight

G                                D/F#                    E7                  A7
Old Bushmill's I staggered, you'd bury the dagger, in your silhouette window light

       D         Em11           D/F#     G
To go waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda,

D/F#                  Em11        A7
You'll go waltzing Matilda with me

      G                       D/F#
Now I lost my Saint Christopher now that I've kissed her

Em7                 A7     D      Em7   D/F#
And the one-armed bandit knows

          G                         D/F#
And the maverick Chinamen, and the cold-blooded signs,

         Em11                A7
And the girls down by the strip-tease shows, go

       D         Em11           D/F#     G
To go waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda,

D/F#                  Em11        A7
You'll go waltzing Matilda with me

       G                      D/F#
No, I don't want your sympathy, the fugitives say

          Em7                 A7     D      Em7   D/F#
That the streets aren't for dreaming now

       G                         D/F#
And manslaughter dragnets and the ghosts that sell memories,

             Em11                A7
They want a piece of the action anyhow

       D         Em11           D/F#     G
To go waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda,

D/F#                  Em11        A7
You'll go waltzing Matilda with me

            G                      D/F#
And you can ask any sailor, and the keys from the jailor,

        Em7         A7          D      Em7   D/F#
And the old men in wheelchairs know

        G                        D/F#
And Matilda's the defendant, she killed about a hundred,

         Em11                A7
And she follows wherever you may go

       D         Em11           D/F#     G
To go waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda,

D/F#                  Em11        A7
You'll go waltzing Matilda with me

            G                      D/F# 
And it's a battered old suitcase to a hotel someplace,

         Em7         A7       D      Em7   D/F#
And a wound that will never heal

      G               D/F#
No primadonna, the perfume is on

        Em11            A7          D
an old shirt that is stained with blood and whiskey

         G                                 D/F#
And goodnight to the street sweepers, the night watchmen flame keepers

         Em11      A7      D
And goodnight to Matilda, too
