...CEMETERY POLKA... by Tom Waits
--------------------.............

*from 'Rain Dogs' (1985)*


Verse 1:

      G#
Uncle Vernon,
      G#
Uncle Vernon,
     G
Inde-pendent as a hog on ice.
       G#
He's a big-shot, down there at the slaughterhouse,
         Cm
Plays ac-cordion for Mis-ter Weiss.

Verse 2:

      C#
Uncle Biltmore,
          C#
And Uncle William,
       C
Made a million during World War II.
            C#
But they're tightwads,
            C#
And they're cheapskates,
            Fm
And they'll never give a dime to you.

Interlude:

G#

Verse 3:

       G#
Auntie Mame has gone in-sane; she lives,
       G
In the doorway of an old ho-tel.
        G#
And the radio,
           G#
Is playing opera,
        Cm
All she ever says is; "go to Hell".

Verse 4:

      C#
Uncle Violet,
        C#
Flew as pilot,
          C
And there ain't no pretty girls in France.
       C#
Now he runs a tiny little bookie joint;
            Fm
They say he never keeps it in his pants.

Verse 5:

      F#
Uncle Bill will never leave a will,
        F
And the tumour is as big as an egg.
      F#
Has a mistress; she's Puerto Rican,
      A#m
And I heard she has a woo-den leg.

Interlude:

G#

Verse 6:

      Cm
Uncle Phil can't live without his pills;
G
 He has emphy-sema and he's almost blind.
       G#
And we must find out where the money is,
       Cm
Get it now, before he loses his mind.

Verse 7:

      C#
Uncle Vernon,
      C#
Uncle Vernon,
     C
Inde-pendent as a hog on ice.
       C#
He's a big-shot, down there at the slaughterhouse,
         Fm
Plays ac-cordion for Mis-ter Weiss.
