Tom Waits
Em
Well ya play that
tarantella
Am
All the hounds will
start to roll
B7
The boys all go ta
hell
Em
And then the Cubans
hit the floor
And they drive along
the pipeline
Am
They tango 'till
they're sore
B7
They take apart
their nightmares
Em
And they leave 'em
by the door
Am
Let me fall out of
the window
B7
With confetti in my
hair
Em
Deal out Jacks or
better
Am
On a blanket by the
stairs
B7
I’ll tell you all
my secrets
Em
But I lie about my
past
Am B7 Em
So send me off to
bed for ever more
Make sure they play
my theme song
Am
I guess daisies
will have to do
B7
Just get me to New
Orleans
Em
And paint shadows
on the pews
Turn the spit on
that pig
Am
And kick the drum
and let me down
B7
Put my clarinet
beneath my bed
Em
Till I get back in
town
Am
Let me fall out of
the window
B7
With confetti in my
hair
Em
Deal out Jacks or
better
Am
On a blanket by the
stairs
B7
I’ll tell you all
my secrets
Em
But I lie about my
past
Am B7 Em
So send me off to
bed for ever more
Just make sure
she's all in calico
Am
In the color of a
doll
B7
Wave the flag on
Cadillac day
Em
And a skillet on
the wall
Cut me a switch
Am
Or hold your breath
till the sun goes down
B7
Write my name on
the hood
Em
Send me off to
another town
Am
Let me fall out of
the window
B7
With confetti in my
hair
Em
Deal out Jacks or
better
Am
On a blanket by the
stairs
B7
I’ll tell you all
my secrets
Em
But I lie about my
past
Am B7 Em
So send me off to
bed for ever more
