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, although Waits's views are more egalitarian than Bukowski's.

Il fait plusieurs séances d'enregistrement avortées avant de parvenir à l'album &quot;Closing Time&quot;, mélancolique et teinté de country en 1973. L'album reçoit un bon accueil critique mais ne connait le succès qu'en 1974 quand les Eagles reprennent un de ses titres, &quot;Ol' 55&quot;.

Night on Earth

[D]They hung a sign up in [G]our town
"If you [A]live it up, you won't [D]live it down"
So, she left Monte [G]Rio, son
Just [A]like a bullet [D]leaves a gun
With [G]charcoal eyes and [A]Monroe hips
She went and [D]took that Cali[G]fornia trip
Well, the [Em]moon was gold, her h[A]air like wind
She said [Em]don't look back just c[A]ome on Jim
Chorus
[A]Oh you got to [D]hold on, [A]hold on  [D]
You got to [G]hold on
[D]Take my hand, I'm [A]standing right here
You gotta [D]hold on

I feel so much old now, you're much older too.
How's the husband, how's the kids? 
You know that I got married too.
Lucky that you found someone who makes you feel secure.
We were all so young and foolish, now we are mature.

And those were days of roses, of poetry and prose 
And Martha, all I had was you and all you had was me.
There was no tomorrow, we packed away our sorrows 
And we saved them for a rainy day.

I was always so impulsive, guess that I still am.
All that really mattered then was that I was a man.
Guess that our bein' together wasn't meant to be.
Martha, Martha, I love you, can't you see.

And those were days of roses, of poetry and prose 
And Martha, all I had was you and all you had was me.
There was no tomorrow, we packed away our sorrows 
And we saved them for a rainy day.

I remember quiet evenings trembling close to you.

It's raining hammers, it's raining nails
     G                                  A7
It's true there's nothing left for him down here


CHORUS:

         D     A7    D 
And it's time, time, time
         G     D     A7 
And it's time, time, time
         D     F#m   G              Em
And it's time, time, time, that you love
         D     A7    D
And it's time, time, time


VERSE 2:

D
And they all pretend they're orphans
D
And their memory's like a train
        G              A7                   D
You can see it getting smaller as it pulls away
        D                  A7
And the things you can't remember
         D
Tell the things you can't forget
     G                             A7 
That history puts a saint in every dream

D
Well she said she'd stick around
D
Until the bandages came off
          G                A7                 D
But these mama's boys just don't know when to quit
       D                 A7
And Matilda asks the sailors
          D
Are those dreams or are those prayers?
     G                          A7
So close your eys, son and this won't hurt a bit


CHORUS...


VERSE 3:

D
Well things are pretty lousy
D
For a calendar girl
    G                    A7                D
The boys just dive right off the cars and into the street
    D                 A7
And when they're on a roll
            D
She pulls a razor from her boot
      G                                A7
And a thousand pigeons fall around her feet


D
So put a candle in the window
D
And a kiss upon his lips
       G                A7                D
As the dish outside the window fills with rain
D                A7
Just like a stranger
         D
With the weeds in your heart
    G                                A7
And pay the fiddler off 'till I come back again

My head is spinning round
   Am7            Gsus2  
My heart is in my shoes
Dm                           Gsus2
I went and set the Thames on fire
                     C 
Now I must come back down
F                     C
She's laughing in her sleeve at me
F                   Dm      G
I can feel it in my bones
    C         G                
But anywhere, anywhere I'm gonna
C      F
Lay my head, boys

I'm gonna call my home.


C                    Gsus4       C     
Well I see the world is upside down
           Am7            Gsus2  
My pockets were filled up with gold.
Dm                           Gsus2
Now the clouds have covered o'er
                          C 
And the wind is blowing cold
F                C
I don't need anybody
F                         Dm      G
Because I learned to be alone
C             G            C 
And anywhere anywhere anywhere
          F     F6
I lay my head, boys
C       G      C     Csus4 C
I will call my home.

C                 Dm             G               C  Csus4 C
Tear the promise from my heart, tear my heart today
                   Dm           G           C    Csus4 C

Hang down your head tomorrow, hang down your head Marie

I've come five hundred miles just to see a halo
D              Bm         Cadd9       A
come from St. Petersburg, Scarlet and me
       D         Bm          Asus4        A
Well I opened my eyes, I was blind as can be
         D          Bm            Cadd9       A
When you give a man luck, he must fall in the sea
        Em           Em7           Asus4    A
And she wants you to steal and get caught 
        Em            Em7              Asus4    A
For she loves you for all that you are not 
                    D   Bm            Asus4   A
When you're falling down,     falling down

When you're falling down,     falling down

You forget all the roses don't come 'round on sunday
      D         Bm              Cadd9       A
She's not gonna choose you, for standing so tall
   D          Bm           Asus4       A
Go on, take a swig of that poison, and like it

Don't ask for silverware, don't ask for nothing

Go on down see that wrecking ball come swinging on along

Everyone knew that hotel was a goner
     D             Bm            Asus4        A
They broke all the windows, they took all the doorknobs
         D         Bm        Cadd9     A
And they hauled it away in a couple of days
    Em             Em7      Asus4         A
Now someone yelled 'timber, take off your hat'

It all looks smaller down here on the ground

Yesterday Is Here

F       D      Gm 
The bats are in the belfry
     C     C       F        
The dew is on the moor
      A         A        Dm 
where are the arms that held me
      Bb        Bb      F
and pledged her love before
      Bb        C       F
and pledged her love before


Chorus:

      F       D        Gm 
It's such a sad old feeling
     C          C         F  
 the fields are soft and green
     F         Dm         Bb
it's memories that I'm stealing
           F         Bb       F
but you're innocent when you dream
Bb        F
when you dream,
        F        Bb        F
you're innocent when you dream
Bb           F
when you dream
          F       Bb       F
you're innocent when you dream


I made a golden promise
that we would never part
I gave my love a locket
and then I broke her heart
and then I broke her heart

Repeter chorus

Running through the graveyard
and we laughed my friends and I
we swore we'd be together
until the day we died
until the day we died

And the world is getting flatter
And the sky is falling all around
Oh, when nothing is the matter
For I never cry in town
And a love like ours, my dear
Is best measured when its down
And I never buy umberellas
Because theres always one around

And all over the world strangers
Talk only about the weather
All over the world its the same
Its the same!

          Dm                G       C
And you know that its the beginning
          E7                            Am
And you know that its the end
         Dm          G7    C
Once again we are strangers
        B7                        E7
As the fog comes rolling in

And all over the world strangers
Talk only about the weather
All over the world its the same
Its the same!

D          G      Asus4     D
Outside another yellow moon
D          G           Asus4     D
Punched a hole in the nighttime, yes
   G                            Asus4      D
I climb through the window and down the street
 G             Asus4     G
Shining like a new dime
              Asus4      A
The downtown trains are full
G               Asus4
With all those Brooklyn girls
G                   A                                
They try so hard to break out of their little worlds

D                G      Asus4            D
You wave your hand and they scatter like crows
D          G                  Asus4              D
They have nothing that will ever capture your heart
D            G             Asus4     D
They're just thorns without the rose
D       G         Asus4     G
Be careful of them in the dark
             Asus4  A
Oh if I was the one
G                         A
You chose to be your only one
G                             A
Oh baby can't you hear me now
 
[Chorus:]
D                 G
Will I see you tonight
D                 G   D
On a downtown train

Every night its just the same

You leave me lonely, now
             G           Asus4     D
I know your window and I know its late
D           G                 Asus4
I know your stairs and your doorway
D                 G        Asus4      G
I walk down your street and past your gate
D                G              Asus4    G
I stand by the light at the four way
                       A
You watch them as they fall
   G                         Asus4  A
Oh baby they all have heart attacks
G             
They stay at the carnival

But they'll never win you back

Will I see you tonight

On a downtown train
D      G                       Em
Where every night its just the same
G               A
You leave me lonely
D                G
Will I see you tonight
D               G
On a downtown train
D           G                   Em  
All of my dreams just fall like rain

Beautiful Maladies: The Island Years

Well they (Gm)call me William The (Gm)Pleaser 
I sold (Gm)opium, fireworks and (D)lead 
Now I'm tel(Gm)ling my troubles to st(Cm)rangers 
When the (Gm)shadows get (D)long I'll be (Gm)dead 

Now her (Gm)hair was as black as a bucket of (Gm)tar 
Skin was as (Gm)white as a cuttlefish b(D)one 
I left Te(Gm)xas to follow Lu(Cm)cinda 
Now I'll (Gm)never see hea(D)ven or (Gm)home

I made a (Gm)wish on silver of moon(Gm)light
A sly (Gm)grin and a bowl full of (D)stars 
Like a (Gm)kid who captures a fire(Cm)fly 
And leaves it (Gm)only to (D)die in the (Gm) jar 

As I (Gm)kick at the clouds at my ha(Gm)nging 
As Is (Gm)wing out over the (D)crowd 
I will (Gm)search every face for Lu(Cm)cinda's 
And she will (Gm)go off with (D)me down to (Gm)hell 

I (Gm)th ought I'd broke loose of Lu(Gm)cinda 
The (Gm)rain returned and so did the (D)wind 
I cast this bu(Gm)rden on the God that's with in (Cm)me 
I will (Gm)leave this old (D)world and go (Gm)free

The devil (D)dances inside empty (Gm)pockets
But she (D)did'nt want money or (Gm)pearls
No, that (D)wasn't enough for (Gm)Lucinda 
She (Amaj)w asn't that kind of (D)girl 

Now I've (Gm)fallen from grace for (Gm)Lucinda 
Whoever (Gm)thought that hell would be so (D)cold 
I did (Gm)well for an old tin can (Cm)sailor 
But she (Gm)wanted the (D)bell in my (Gm)soul

I've (Gm)spoken to God on the (Gm)mountain 
And I've (Gm)swam in the Irish (D)sea 
I ate (Gm)fire and drank from the (Cm)Ganges 
And I'll (Gm)beg there for (D)mercy for (Gm)me 

I (Gm)thought I'd broke loose of (Gm)Lucinda 
The rain (Gm)returned and so did the (D)wind 
I was (Gm)standing outside the (Cm)Whitehorse 
Oh but (Gm)I was (D)afraid to go (Gm)in 

I heard some(Gm)o ne pull the (Gm)trigger 
Her breasts (Gm)heaved in the moonlight a(D)gain 
There was a (Gm)smear of gold in the win(Cm)dow 
And then (Gm)I was the je (D)wel of her (Gm)s in 

They (Gm)call me William The (Gm)Pleaser 
I sold (Gm)opium, fireworks and (D)lead

I like my town with a little drop of poison

# If you want it to sound proper, strum similarly to the piano in the original, and  # slide up on every fourth beat (not fourth strum). For those who need exact                                                                # instruction, this is how it should look when you slide:

Never hurt no one

Never hurt no one

Fumblin' With The Blues

C             F  
I'm leaving my family
C             Am7
leaving all my friends
C           D7
my body's at home
       Dm9         G7
but my hearts in the wind
          C              F  
where the clouds are like headlines
     C            Am7 
on a new frontpage sky
   C             D7
my tears are salt water
     Dm9    G7  C
and the moons full and high

And I know Martin Eden's
gonna be proud of me
many before me
has been drawn by the sea
To be up in the crow's nest 
singing my say
Shiver me Timbers
as I'm sailing away


                Ebm7     
/Now the fog's lifting 
         G#7     
 and the sand's shifting
     C        D9
 I'm drifting on out

 Old captain Ahab
              G7sus4   G7
 he ain't got nothing on me

{repeat chords as above}

 So swallow me , follow me
 I'm travelling alone
 Blue waters my daughter
 I'm gonna skip like a stone


so please call my misses
tell her not to cry
'cause my googbye is written
by the moon in the sky
Nobody knows me
I can't fathom my stayin'
shiver me timbers
as I'm sailing away


Now the fogs liftin'......


I'm leaving my family
leaving all my friends
my body's at home 
but my hearts in the wind
where the clouds are like headlines
on a new frontpage sky
shiver me timbers
as I'm sailing  goodbye........

Greetings From Hell 

F       C        E7     Am
I will leave behind all of my clothes
  F         C      Dm7   G7
I wore when I was with you
F     C         E7       Am     
All I need's my railroad boots 
F      C       Dm7    G7
And my leather jacket
     F       C      E7     Am
As I say goodbye to Ruby's Arms
  F         C        Dm7     G7
Although my heart is breaking
       F     C        E7           Am
I will steal away out through your blinds
    F        C       Dm7     G7
For soon you will be waking

    G       C         A           Dm
The morning light has washed your face

And everything is turning blue      now
G       C       A      Dm
Hold on to your pillow case
        G7      C     Dm7           G7sus4    G7
There's nothing I can do            now

As I say goodbye to Ruby's Arms

You'll find another soldier
      F        C      E7        Am
And I swear to God by christmas time
            F       C       Dm7       G7
There'll be someone else to hold you

The only thing I'm taking is

The scarf off of your clothes     line
     G     C         A        Dm
I'll hurry past your chest of drawers
 G7      C      Dm7              G7sus4   G7
And your broken wind             chimes

Out into the morning
    F      C      E7     Am
The Hoboes at the freightyards
     F          C     Dm7      G7
Have kept their fires burning
F     C           E7       Am
Jesus Christ this God damn rain
     F       C      E7   Am
Will someone put me on a train
     F     C         E7   Am
I'll never kiss your lips again
   Dm7        G7sus4   G7
Or break your heart

Ruby's Arms

Heartattack and Vine

F         Gm  C7          F
I fell asleep down by the stream
           Gm  Gm7  C        F              
And there I had the strangest dream
Bb          F        A            Dm     
And down by Brennan's Glenn there grows
Gm    C7sus4   F
A briar and a rose

Dm                    C
There's a tree in the forest
Bb               F
But I don't know where
Bb        F        Gm      C 
I built a nest out of your hair
F        Gm7 C  F        Bb
And climbing up into the air
F        C7   F
A briar and a rose

G            Am     D7       G 
I don't know how long it has been
          Am  Am7  D7       G 
But I was born in Brennan's Glenn
C            G      B            Em 
And near the end of spring there grows
Am7     Dsus4  G
A briar and a rose

Em            D       C      G 
I picked the rose one early morn
C            G      Am     D7  
I pricked my finger on a thorn
G               Am7 D7
It had grown so high
G            C     
It's winding wove 
G         D7         G
the briar around the rose

           Am        D7   G 
I tried to tear them both apart
         Am    Am7     G
I felt a bullet in my heart
C               G      B          Em
And all dressed up in springs and clothes
Am7       Dsus4    G   
The briar and the rose

Em           D    C       G       
And when I'm buried in my grave
C          G       Am7  D7   
Tell me so I will know
     G          Am7 D
Your tears will fall
G             C
To make love grow
G         D7sus4 D7 G
The briar and the rose

The Briar And The Rose

C
I love the way
    Dm        G7    C
The tattered clouds
A                   Dm  G
Go wind across the sky

G    D7
As summer goes
D7       
And leave me
         G   Dm Gdim  G7 
With a tear  in  my  eye

Baug C            Dm       G7
I'm taking out my winter clothes
    Am                   Eb7    B7
My garden knows what's wrong
    Dm     G7     C        G7
The petals of my favorite rose
Dm                         Gsus4 Gaug
Be in the shadows dark and long

         C
Through every year
      Dm    G7
It's very clear
Am     
I should be used
            Eb7
To carrying on
B7             D7
But I can't be found
         G7
IN the garden
  C           A7
Singing this song

          Dm
When the last
         G7         C
Rose of summer is gone

Verse 1:
           B
I'm going back to the time when we owned this town
      E
Down Powder Mill Lane, in the battlegrounds
C#m        B                   G#m  B     F#
We were friends and lovers and clueless clowns


Verse 2:
                      B       
I didn't know I'd be finding out now I was torn from you
         E
When we thought about things we were gonna do
C#m      B                    G#m B  F# 
We were wide eyed dreamers and wiser too


Chorus:
               E              B 
Go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café


Verse 3:
                          B
I'm begging you for some sign, but you've still got nothing to say
        E
Don't turn your back on me, don't walk away
C#m     B                   G#m  B   F#
I'm a better man now than I was that day


Chorus:
                      E              B 
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                 E               B
Go down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                      E                     G#m   F#     
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café


Bridge:
   E        B           F#
I wheel my bike off the train,
        F#
Up the North Trade Road,
 E        B             F# 
Look for you on Marley Lane
                          G#m
In every building, every streetlight
                   E               F#  G#m  B  F#
Oh why did we ever go so far from home?


Verse 4:
                        B
You keep on leaving me mile long traces of who you are
         E
You can get a big house and a faster car
C#m      B                    G#m   B  F#
You can run away boy, but you won't go far


Chorus:
                      E              B
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

Work

C#
There's a portrait
     Ab
In a back room
           F#
Which I'll keep for days upon
          C#
Which I relent 
              B
And gaze for hours on
    Bbm                  F#
The muscle, skin and bone
         Ab
Of some imaginary friend

F# Ab F#

        C#
So how about it 
        Ab
Show me please 
           F#
How I will look in twenty years
           C#
And let me please 
          B
Interpret history 
       Bbm        F#
In every line and scar 
               Ab                  
That's painted there in front of me

F# Ab F# Ab F# Ab

           C#
It doesn't matter
         Ab
What I'm thinking
       F#
What I tell myself to do
         C#      F#
I end up calling

       C#
I stay in to
                   Ab
Defrost the fridge
        F#
Now the kid has gone to bed
             C#
A feeling of dread
              B         
At least when she's around
    Bbm
The trouble's there
     F#                        Ab
It's worse to wake up with her falling 'round the room

F# Ab F# Ab F# Ab

       C#
Listen Johnny
              F#
You're like a mother
       C#                     F#
To the girl you've fallen for
                 C#
And you're still falling

       C#
Listen Johnny
              Ab
You're like a mother
       F#
To the girl you've fallen for
                 C#
And you're still falling

            B
And if they come tonight
       Bbm
You'll roll up tight
     F#             Ab
And take whatever's coming to you next (oh, oh oh oh)

 F# Ab to end.
