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: E7 Verse 1: Well I learned the trade from Piggy Noles, Am and Sing Sing Tommy Shay, boys. E7
God used me as a hammer, boys, Am To beat his weary drum today. E7 Chorus: Hoist that rag. Am Hoist that rag. Am The entire song repeats this verse/chorus cycle, so that's it!
