Tom Waits - Dead And Lovely

another favourite waits tune , hope it makes sense ,
it looks a bit complicated with the walkup on the A & D
strings , and plays fine without a capo , but if you are
playing along with the song stick the capo on 3 ,
i pick for most of the song , but pick + strum the
Dm A# Dm A# Am F B7 E bits , see what works for you .
as always , any mistakes are mine , if i have missed some
obvious ones drop me a note and i’ll sort it .
if you like it rate it ,
thanks – flatwound –
