Thomas Alan Waits (nacido en Pomona (California) el 7 de diciembre de 1949) es un pianista, cantante, compositor y actor estadounidense, famoso por sus canciones de tono áspero inspiradas en escritores de la generación Beat, en especial Jack Kerouac
En 1967 comenzó a trabajar en los cabarets de Los Ángeles, ambiente que le influyó mucho para las canciones de su primer disco, Closing Time (1973), aunque este álbum se vio eclipsado por The Eagles y Tim Buckley

*CAPO 3rd FRET*
(Original Key: Cm)
Intro:
AmF (x2)
Verse 1:
AmFAmF Broken glass, rusty nails, AmDmAmE7 Where the wild violets grow. AmFAmF Say good-bye to the railroad, the mad dogs of summer, AmE7Am And every-thing that I know.
Chorus 1:
FAm What some men will do here for diamonds, FAm What some men will do here for gold. FAm They're wounded, but they just keep on climbing, FE7 And sleep by the side of the road.
Bridge 1:
AmDm There's a hole in the ladder, a fence we can climb, E7 Mad as a hatter; you're thin as a dime. AmDm Go out to the meadow; the hills are a-green, AmE7Am Sing me a rainbow, steal me a dream.
Interlude:
AmF (x2)
Verse 2:
AmFAmF Small-time Na-poleon's shattered his knees, AmDmAmE7 But he stays in the saddle for Rose. AmFAmF And all his dis-ciples, they shave in the gutter, AmE7Am And they gather what's left of his clothes.
Chorus 2:
FAm What some men will do here for diamonds, FAm What some men will do here for gold. FAm They're wounded, but they just keep on climbing, FE7 And sleep by the side of the road.
