Tom Waits - Drunk On The Moon

i can’t believe this is nowhere to be found on the web . well , there’s one guy on
but the only thing he gets right are the words . so yeah . it’s not an easy tab , and i’m not even
to go near that insane solo saxophone bit . this is just the basic chord
progression driving the song .

in my opinion this sounds much better without hitting any open strings . . most of the time .

it’s in 6/8 time . or 3/4 . i never get that right .

Cmaj7 dbm7b5 Dm7 D#dim7
tight – slacked clad girls on the graveyard shift
Em7 Fmaj7
’neath the cement stroll
E7 Am7
catch the midnight drift
Fmaj7 F7
cigar chewing charlie
Em7 A7
in that newspaper nest
Dm7 G7
grifting hot horse tips
Cmaj7 C7
on who’s running the best

Bm7 E7
and i’m blinded by the neon
Am Am7/G D7sus2/F#
don’t try and change my tune
Fmaj7 F7
’cause i thought i heard a saxophone
Em7 A7 D9 G9 Em7
D9 G9
i’m drunk on the moon

Cmaj7 dbm7b5
and the moon’s a silver slipper
Dm7 D#dim7
it’s pouring champagne stars
Em7 Fmaj7
broadway’s like a serpent
E7 Am7
pulling shiny top – down cars
Fmaj7 F7
laramer is teeming
Em7 A7
with that undulating beat
Dm7 G9
and some bonneville is screaming
Cmaj7 C7
it’s way wilder down the street

Bm7 E7
and i’m blinded by the neon
Am Am7/G D7sus2/F#
don’t try and change my tune
Fmaj7 F7
’cause i thought i heard a saxophone
Em7 A7 D9 G9 Em7
D9 G9
i’m drunk on the moon

Cmaj7 dbm7b5
hearts flutter and race
Dm7 D#dim7
the moon’s on the wane
Em7 Fmaj7
tarts mutter their dream hopes
E7 Am7
the night will ordain
Fmaj7 F7
come schemers and dancers
Em7 A7
cherry delight
Dm7 G9
as a cleveland – bound greyhound
Cmaj7 C7
and it cuts through the night

Bm7 E7
and i’ve harked all my yesterdays
Am Am7/G D7sus2/F#
don’t try and change my tune
Fmaj7 F7
’cause i thought i heard a saxophone
Em7 A7 D9 G9 Em7
D9 G9 G#6/9
i’m drunk on the moon
