Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
Another favourite Waits tune, hope it makes sense,
it looks a bit complicated with the walkup on the A & D
strings, and plays fine without a capo, but if you are
playing along with the song stick the capo on 3,
I pick for most of the song, but pick + strum the
Dm Bb Dm Bb Am F B7 E bits, see what works for you.
As always, any mistakes are mine, if I have missed some
obvious ones drop me a note and I'll sort it.
if you like it rate it,
thanks - flatwound -
