BAD AS ME-Tom Waits
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Not exactly right, but close enough to get you through the song.

Tuning:Standard

Verse:
You can figure out the rhythm pretty quickly just by listening, but it basically just
switches between these two chords, 3 measures for the first one and 1 measure for the second.

e|---8-------------------8--------------------------------------------------|

Chord diagramD MajorD|---10------------------8--------------------------------------------------|
Chord diagramA augmentedA|---8-------------------7--------------------------------------------------|
Chord diagramE MajorE|-----------------------8--------------------------------------------------|

And stay on the second for an extra 2 measures before going into the chorus

Chorus 1:
Switch between another 2 chords

Chord diagramD MajorD|---10----------------9------------10------------------10------------------|
Chord diagramA augmentedA|---8-----------------7------------8-------------------8-------------------|

while another guitar plays the riff
e|------------------------------------------------------12/13--12/13--12/13~|

Chord diagramD MajorD|----6------5--3--------------------------------3---2----------------------|
Chord diagramA augmentedA|-----------------6---6p7--------------------------------------------------|
Chord diagramE MajorE|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|

From there only minor changes, during other verses a guitar plays notes from these
not-chords, don't know the rhythm exactly but just pick single notes from these

Chord diagramD MajorD|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|

 and the next chorus repeats once and changes to something like
e|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|

Chord diagramD MajorD|----6------5--3--------------------------------3---2h3--------------------|
