Tango Till They’re Sore
(from "Rain Dogs")
By Tom Waits

Note: One of the first Tom Waits songs I heard.  I’ve been  addicted to
his melancholia ever since. It's played in a slow, plodding and (yes!)
melancholy style which makes TW so great.  A couple shots of bourbon may help to
hit the correct groove.

Verse 1:
             Dm
Well ya play...
           A#
All the hounds...
             A
And the boys...
               Dm
Then the Cubans...
               Dm
And they drive...
          A#
They tango...
          A
They take...
                Dm
And they leave...

Chorus:
           Gm
Let me fall...
             A
With confetti...
Dm
Deal...
         Gm
On a blanket...
       A
I’ll tell ...
         Dm
But I lie...
     A#                    A            Dm
So send ...

Verse 2:
Repeat Dm A# A Dm 2x (with lyrics)
