Walk Away Tom Waits
This is a very simple chord progression, and if you've played a lot of Tom Waits then
will probably seem familiar. Doesn't make it any less fantastic.
You may want to change from Am to A7 just before you go into a Dm, and occasionally lead
to the E7 with an Ebdim7 to make it a bit more interesting.
[Am]Dot King was whittled from the bone of Cain
[Am]with a little drop of poison in the [E7]red, red blood
[Am]She need a way to turn around the [Dm]bend
[Am]She said I want to walk away and start over again.
[Am]There are things I've done I can't erase
[Am]I want to look in the mirror, see [E7]another face
[Am]I said never would I do it a[Dm]gain
[Am]I want to walk away, start over again.
[Dm]No more [Am]rain
[E7]No more [Am]roses
[Dm]On my [Am]way, [C]shake my thirst in a [E7]cool, cool pond.
There is a widower in every place
There is a heart that's beating in every page
The beginning of it starts at the end
When it's time to walk away and start over again.
Weather is murder at a hundred and three
William Ray shot Corabell Lee
A yellow dog knows when he has sinned
You want to walk away and start over again.
[Dm]No more [Am]rain
[E7]No more [Am]roses
[Dm]On my [Am]way, [C]shake my thirst in a [E7]cool, cool pond.
Cooper told Maui the whole block is gone
They're dying for jewelry, money, and clothes
I always get out of the trouble I'm in
I want to walk away, start over again.
I left my bible by the side of the road
Carve my initials in an old dead tree
I'm going away but I'm going to be back when
It's time to walk away and start over again.
