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--------------------------------------------------|
B|---9-------------------8--------------------------------------------------|
G|---8-------------------8--------------------------------------------------|
D|---10------------------8--------------------------------------------------|
A|---8-------------------7--------------------------------------------------|

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

Chorus 1:
Switch between another 2 chords
e|---8-----------------7------------8-------------------8-------------------|
B|---9-----------------8------------9-------------------9-------------------|
G|---8-----------------7------------8-------------------8-------------------|
D|---10----------------9------------10------------------10------------------|
A|---8-----------------7------------8-------------------8-------------------|
E|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
while another guitar plays the riff
e|------------------------------------------------------12/13--12/13--12/13~|
B|------------------------------------------------------12/13--12/13--12/13~|
G|----------------------------------5------3--1-----------------------------|
D|----6------5--3--------------------------------3---2----------------------|
A|-----------------6---6p7--------------------------------------------------|
E|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|

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
e|-----13---------------------------12--------------------------------------|
B|-----13---------------------------12--------------------------------------|
G|-----13---------------------------12--------------------------------------|
D|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
 and the next chorus repeats once and changes to something like
e|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|----------------------------------5------3--1----------5--3---1-----------|
D|----6------5--3--------------------------------3---2h3--------------------|
A|-----------------6---6p7--------------------------------------------------|

D|----6------5--3--------------------------------3------8----8---8----------|
A|-----------------6---6p7------------------------------7----7---7----------|
E|------------------------------------------------------8----8---8----------|
