Tom Waits - Bronx Lullabye Smugglers Waltz

couldn’t find this one anywhere . . . one of tom’s most depressing and emotive pieces , so here goes .

bronx lullabye / smuggler’s waltz ( tom waits )

Am E7
daggers of moonlight
Am E7
murder the sheets
Dm G9 Esus4/B E7
and the stink of a four dollar room
Am E7
and Daddy’s gone a hunting
Am E7
for a dime bag schoolboy
Dm G9 Esus4/B E7
tied up with a yellow balloon

Dm G7 c? Am7
so hush little baby , Daddy must go
Dm G7 Esus4 E7
i’ll cover you up with a blanket of snow
Am E7
by the time i make jersey
Am D7
you’ll be in heaven
F7 E7 Am D7 G C9 F E7 ( pause a beat )
in a pretty blue shoe box i know

Am E7
so sing a song of ten grand
Am E7
with a pocket full of dough
Dm G9 Esus4/B E7
and i can’t take you with me to baltimore

Am E7
wake god up in heaven
Am D7
have him look down below
F7 E7
there’s a little lost angel
Am D7 G C9 F E7
blooming . . .
Am ( & windup , ending on A )
. . . in the snow
