Romeo Is Bleeding chords by Tom Waits

Chords with lyrics

Verse:
B minorBm                 F#9F#9
Romeo is bleeding,      but not so as you'd notice,
   B minorBm              F#9F#9
He's over on 18th street as usu - al
B minorBm                 F#9F#9
Lookin' so hard   a - gainst the hood of his car
   B minorBm               F#9F#9
 And puttin' out a cigarette in his hand

Verse:
      B minorBm             F#9F#9
For all the pachucos at the pumps At Romero's Paint and Body
            B minorBm               F#9F#9
They're all seein' how far they can spit, well, it was just another night
         B minorBm                 F#9F#9
And now they're huddled in the brake lights  of a fifty-eight Bel-Air
  B minorBm                 F#9F#9
And listenin' to how Romeo killed  a sheriff with his knife

       B minorBm                     F#9F#9
And they all jump when they hear the sirens,    But Romeo just laughs
     B minorBm                   F#9F#9
"All the racket in the world ain't never gonna save that Coppers' ass
     B minorBm                     F#9F#9
He ain't never gonna see another summertime   for gunnin' down my brother
B minorBm                 F#9F#9
Leavin' him like a dog,  beneath a car without his knife"

Verse:
       B minorBm                  F#9F#9
Romeo says," Hey man, gimme a cigarette", and they all reach for their pack
B minorBm                  F#9F#9
Frank - ie lights it for him  and pats him on the back
       B minorBm                F#9F#9
An' throws a bottle at a milk truck, and as it breaks, he grabs his nuts
       B minorBm                      F#9F#9
An' they all know, they could be just like Romeo if they only had the guts

Verse:

B minorBm                 F#9F#9
Romeo is bleeding,       but no - body can tell
    B minorBm                 F#9F#9
An' he sings along with the radi  With a bul - et in his chest
    B minorBm              F#9F#9
An' he combs back his fenders they all agree it's clear
   B minorBm                F#9F#9
That ev - rything is cool,  now that Ro - meo is here

Verse:

B minorBm               F#9F#9
Romeo is bleeding    and he winces now an' then
    B minorBm                    F#9F#9
And he leans against the car door,  feels the blood in his shoes
     B minorBm               F#9F#9
Someone's cryin' at the 5 Points,   the phone booth by the store
B minorBm                F#9F#9
Romeo starts his engines,  the blood off the door

Verse:

    B minorBm                   F#9F#9
And he brodies through the signal   With the radio full blast
      B minorBm                     F#9F#9
Leavin' the boys there__     hikin' up their chi - nos
        B minorBm                    F#9F#9
And now they're all tryin' to stand like Romeo, with the Moon cut like a sickle
B minorBm                       F#9F#9
And they're talkin' now in Spanish,  all a - bout their hero

Verse:

B minorBm              F#9F#9
Romeo is bleeding    as he gives the man his ticket
    B minorBm              F#9F#9
And he climbs the balcony  at the mo - vies
     B minorBm             F#9F#9
And he'll die without a whimper like e - very hero's dream
    B minorBm              F#9F#9
Like an an - gel with a bullet  and Cag - ney on a screen

Bridge:

B minorBm         F#9F#9         B minorBm         F#9F#9
Romeo is bleed - ing          Romeo is bleed - ing      Hey, man
B minorBm         F#9F#9         B minorBm         F#9F#9

B minorBm         F#9F#9         B minorBm         F#9F#9
Romeo is bleeding            Hey man, Romeo is bleeding...
B minorBm         F#9F#9         B minorBm         F#9F#9
Hey, pachuco!      Hey, pachuco!
B minorBm         F#9F#9         B minorBm         F#9F#9
Dame esa pistola, hombre! Hago la lucha!
B minorBm         F#9F#9         B minorBm         F#9F#9
Ay, que pinche pancho! Vamos a dormir, hombre!
