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

Tom Waits: Johnsburg, Illinois. Tabbed by Gregor de Gruyther: [email protected].
Here it is... only worked it out last night and I don't have my notes with me, but the main thing is that I pretty much worked out the really irritating chords:
This is off the Meisterwerk that is Swordfishtrombones...
She's my only true love G (320033) Cdim? (xx4343) She's all that I think of Am (x02210) Bbdim? (xx2121) Look here, in my wallet - that's her BbdimEm (022000) C (x32010) D (xx0232)
She grew up on a farm there... there's a place on my arm where I've written her name next to mine (same chords)
You see I just can't live without her D7 (xx0212) GC And I'm her only boy GD/F# (2xx232) Em She grew up outside McHenry... D7GC In Johnsburg, Illinois. GD Cdim?
... and does anyone know all the names for different sizes of champagne bottles? Magnum, Jezebel, Nebuchednezzer etc... maybe Balthezar? cheers, Gregor. :: Ultimate Guitar Archive :: http://www.ultimate-guitar.com
