Tom Waits - Franks wild years

^Bb13Well, frank settled down in the Valley, ^F13and he hung his wil^Eb9d years on a ^D7b9nail that he dro^Gm9ve through his wife's forehead.

^C9augHe sold used office furniture out F13 Ab13#11 there on San Fernando Road and G13#11 C7#9 assumed a $30,000 loan at 15 1/4 % ^F13and put a down payment on a^Bb13 little two bedroom place.^F13

^F13His wife was a spent piece of ^Bb13used jet trash Made good bloody mary's, kept her mouth shut most of ^F13the time, had a little Chihuahua named Carlos tha^Eb9t had s^D7b9ome kind of ^Gm9skin disease and was totally blind.

^C9augThey had a thoroughly modern kitchen; F13 Ab13#11 self-cleaning oven (the whole bit) G13#11 Frank drove a little sedan. ^C7#9They were so happy.

^F13One night Frank was on his way ^Bb13home from work, stopped at the ^F13liquor store,

Drank 'em i^Bb13n the car on his way to the Shell station; he got a gallon of gas i^F13n a can.

Drove home, douse^Eb9d everything in ^D7b9the house, torched ^Gm9it. Parked across the stree^C9augt laughing, F13 Ab13#11 watching it burn, all Halloween G13#11 C7#9 orange and chimney red.

^F13Then frank put on^Bb13 a top forty station, go^F13t on the Hollywood freeway headed North.

^Bb13Never could stand that dog. Outro: | F13 | Eb9 | D7b9 | Gm9 | C7b9 | F13 | Db7b5 | Bb/C | F | C7#9#5 | F13 |
