A Good Man Is Hard To Find chords by Tom Waits

Chords with lyrics

Tuning: Standard

Difficulty: Novice

The most obvious way to play it is by putting a
on the 1st fret and playing D, A, A7, D, D, D7, Em, E, E7, etc. But I lost my capo.. so
the barre version.

It also has a wonderful dooo-dooo-dooo doodoodoo thing going on between verses and in
beginning.. as in:

E MajorE|------6-----6-----6--------|
BB|------8-----8-----8--------|
G+G|------8-----8-----8--------|
D MajorD|---------------------------|
A augmentedA|---6-----5---------------5-|
E MajorE|---------------8-----6-8---|
