Poor Edward by Tom Waits
Transcribed by Johan Jeppsson

Standard tuning
Capo on 1st fret

Tom sings this ridicously low. If you want to transpose it, you could use this table:
A minorAm

    B7B7
Did you hear the news about Edward?

    A minorAm
On the back of his head
E minorEm
he had another face
A minorAm
Was it a woman's face
      B7B7
or a young girl?


       A minorAm
They said to remove it would kill him
          B7B7
So poor Edward was doomed

        A minorAm
That face could laugh and cry
E minorEm
It was his devil twin
A minorAm
At night she spoke to him
           B7B7
Things heard only in hell


     A minorAm
They were impossible to separate
           B7B7
Chained together for life


      A minorAm
Finally the bell tolled his doom
E minorEm
He took a suite of rooms
A minorAm
And hung himself and her
         B7B7
from the balcony irons


      A minorAm
Some still believe he was freed from her
          B7B7
But I knew her too well
     A minorAm
I say she drove him to suicide
            B7B7
And took poor Edward to hell
