Hoist That Rag chords by Tom Waits

Chords with lyrics

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:

E7E7

Verse 1:

Well I learned the trade from Piggy Noles,
      A minorAm

and Sing Sing Tommy Shay, boys.
    E7E7

God used me as a hammer, boys,
A minorAm

To beat his weary drum today.
   E7E7

Chorus:

Hoist that rag.
         A minorAm

Hoist that rag.
          A minorAm

The entire song repeats this verse/chorus cycle, so that's it!
