Tom Waits (born Thomas Alan Waits, in Pomona, California, on December 7, 1949) is a prolific American singer, songwriter, composer, and actor.
He started his career in the early 1970s as a singer in spit 'n' sawdust bars. Initially, he was deeply influenced by the beat generation, novelists like Jack Kerouac and William S. Burroughs, and poets like Allen Ginsberg and Charles Bukowski. Waits is often compared to Charles Bukowski, being similar both in content and lifestyle

CCsus4CCsus4 A cloud lets go of the moon CCsus4CC7 Her ribbons are all out of tune F She is skating on the ice C In a glass in the hands of a man C7 That she kissed on a train F And the children are all gone into town CAm7 To get candy and we are alone in the house here Gsus4G And your eyes fall down on me
CCsus4CCsus4 And I belong only to you CCsus4CC7 The water is filling my shoes F In the wine of my heart there's a stone C In a well made of bone C7 That you bring to the pond F And I'm here in your pocket
Curled up in a dollar CAm7 And the chain from your watch around my neck Gsus4GC And I'll stay right here until it's time
(Interlude)
CCsus4CCsus4 The girls all knit in the shade CCsus4CC7 Before the baby is made F And the branches bend down
To the ground here to swing on CC7 I'm lost in the blond summer grass F And the train whistle blows
And the carnival goes CAm7 Till there's only the tickets and crows here Gsus4GC And the grass will all grow back
D7 The branches spill Alice GCsus4C And I belong only to you
