Tuning:

Fish and Bird (Tom Waits) Tabbed by John Halfpenny (jhalfpenny@excite.com) Tricky song to tab as it's played on keyboards and cornets and things. Anyway, here's quite a good solo acoustic guitar version which also plays nicely over the original if you so wish. Don't know if the words are right or not. :) No doubt a couple of obvious chords I got wrong will come to me once I've uploaded it. Capo at fret #3

They ^Cpulled ar^Gound for the ^Csailor and they ^Fmaj7heard his ^Gtale Of a ^Cworld that was so full of w^Faves

And a ^Gsong that we'd ^Cnever ^Fheard A ^Gsong of a ^Clittle ^Fbird that fell in ^Glove with a ^Cwhale ^G

He said 'you ^Ccan not ^Glive in the o^Ccean' And she ^Fmaj7said to ^Ghim 'You ^Cnever can live in the ^Fsky'

But the ^Gocean is ^Cfilled with ^Ftears And the ^Gsea turns ^Cinto a m^Firror

There's a ^Gwhale in the ^Cmoon when it's ^Fclear And a ^Gbird on the ^Ctide

Oh ^Cplease ^Gmdon't ^Fcry in these ^Dmdry ^Dold ^Geyes So ^Ctell me ^Gthat you will ^Cwait for me

Hold me ^Fin your ^Garms I ^Cpromise we never will ^Fpart

I'll ^Gnever sail ^Cback to the ^Ftime And I'll ^Galways pre^Ctend your ^Fmine

I ^Gknow that we ^Cboth must ^Fpart You can ^Glive in my ^Cheart

Oh ^Cplease ^Gmdon't ^Fcry in these ^Dmdry ^Dold ^Geyes And ^Ctell me ^Gthat you will ^Cwait for me

Hold me ^Fin your ^Garms I ^Cpromise we never will ^Fpart

I'll ^Gnever sail ^Cback to the ^Ftime And I'll ^Galways pre^Ctend your ^Fmine

I ^Gknow that we ^Cboth must ^Fpart You can ^Glive in my ^Cheart
