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
¡Cuatro años de duro trabajo!Este mes de mayo cumplimos cuatro años al aire. Seguimos trabajando en la difusión de este maravilloso instrumento, ¡gracias por participar en nuestra historia!
Bm7* Em7 red pants and the sugarman in the temple street gloom, Bm7Em7 drinkin' chivas regal in a four dollar room Bm7Em7 just another dead soldier in a powder blue night, Bm7Em7 sugarman says baby everything's alright, Bm7Em7Bm7Em7F#5 goin' downtown, downtown, down... Bm7Em7F#5 goin' downtown, down!
montclaire de havelin doin' the st. vitus dance, lookin' for someone to chop the lumber in his pants, how am i gonna unload all of this ice and all this mink, all the traffic in the street but it's so hard to think, goin' downtown down downtown.
frankie's wearin' lipstick pierre cardin, i swear to god i seen him holdin' hands with jimmy bond, sally's high on crank and hungry for some sweets, she's fem in the sheets but she's butch in the streets, goin' downtown down downtown.
it's the cool of the evening the sun's goin' down, i want to hold you in my arms i want to push you around, i want to break your bottle and spill out all your charms, come on baby we'll set off all the burglar alarms, goin' downtown down downtown.
red pants and the sugarman in the temple, drinkin' chivas regal in a four dollar room, just another dead soldier in a powder blue night, red pants turns to sugarman and says everything's alright, goin' downtown down downtown.

*one note: chords I used in this song sounds better played like this...
Bm7 7th EADGBe: 02x000 Em7 7th 002x00 F#5 9th 0022xx ....i don't play the "e" string so often, I even play first strings only...
...and sorry, I don't know the exact names of these chords so I had to do it like this.
