Goin Out West tab by Tom Waits
Guitar Tab
Alright, I haven't really seen a solid tab of this anywhere, and it's a pretty boss song. This is my first tab, and I thought I post the way I play it. It's more droning and deep than the album version. The trick is to tune the "E" all the way down to a "C" so its in "CADGBe" Tuning. *NOTE* this is just a really rough outline of what I play, but I figured people could probably figure it out.

then E------------------------------------------------| B------------------------------------------------| G------------------------------------------------| D-5----------4-----------------------------------| A-----------------------6--3---------------------| C--0-3-0-0-----3-0-3-0-------0-3-0---------------| The timing of the "C" string notes is awkaward to tab out, but you'll get it by listening, it's actually pretty easy. The "Distorted" Riff comes up a few times, and varies off of these chords. e----------------------------| B----------------------------| G-3/5-5-5-5----3/5-5-5-5-----| D-3/5-5-5-5----3/5-5-5-5-----| A-1/3-3-3-3----1/3-3-3-3-----| C----------------------------| The timing is sort of weird, and sometimes he throws in mutes/odd harmonics based around those chords. And occasionally, he does this this tiny riff back into the other riffs, it looks like this. it's most profound at 1:07ish e---------------------------------| B---------------------------------| G-3/5-5-5-5----3/5-5-5-5----------| D-3/5-5-5-5----3/5-5-5-5----------| A-1/3-3-3-3----1/3-3-3-3----------| C------------------------h6h5h4h0-| The chorus is similar to the distorted riff, but starts higher. e-----------------| B-----------------| G-8/10-10-10-10---| D-8/10-10-10-10---| A-6/8--8--8--8----| C-----------------| x 2 Then e----------------------------| B----------------------------| G-3/5-5-5-5----3/5-5-5-5-----| D-3/5-5-5-5----3/5-5-5-5-----| A-1/3-3-3-3----1/3-3-3-3-----| C----------------------------| Then back to e-----------------| B-----------------| G-8/10-10-10-10---| D-8/10-10-10-10---| A-6/8--8--8--8----| C-----------------| And he goes up to a D, strums it a few times during the end of the chorus, and goes back into the verse. e-------------------| B-------------------| G-10/12-12-12-12-12-| D-10/12-12-12-12-12-| A-8-/10-10-10-10-10-| C-------------------| any thoughts or questions are welcome, just thought I'd throw this tab out while a had
