great song by tom waits from the album “real gone . ” key of Am , standard tuning .
guitar solo not included this time , sorry! i just wanted to correct a lot of
simplified interpretations of the harmonies that don’t do the real song justice .
intro :
Am , Dm , E7 , Am , F , Dm , F7 , E7
verse 1 :
well i learned the trade from piggy noles ,
Am Dm E7 Am
and sing sing tommy shay , boys .
F Dm F7 E7
god used me as a hammer , boys ,
Am Dm E7 Am
to beat his weary drum today .
F Dm F7 E7
chorus :
hoist that rag .
Am Dm E7 Am
hoist that rag .
Am Dm E7 Am
the entire song repeats this verse/Chorus cycle , so that’s it!
