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:
Am
E7
Dm
A
B7
Did you hear the news about Edward?
Am
On the back of his head
Em
he had another face
Am
Was it a woman's face
B7
or a young girl?
Am
They said to remove it would kill him
B7
So poor Edward was doomed
Am
That face could laugh and cry
Em
It was his devil twin
Am
At night she spoke to him
B7
Things heard only in hell
Am
They were impossible to separate
B7
Chained together for life
Am
Finally the bell tolled his doom
Em
He took a suite of rooms
Am
And hung himself and her
B7
from the balcony irons
Am
Some still believe he was freed from her
B7
But I knew her too well
Am
I say she drove him to suicide
B7
And took poor Edward to hell
