Great song by Tom Waits from the album "Real Gone." Key of Am, standard tuning.
Guitar solo not included this time, sorry! I just wanted to correct a lot of
simplified interpretations of the harmonies that don't do the real song justice.
Intro:
Am, Dm, E7, Am, F, Dm, B7, E7
Verse 1:
Well I learned the trade from Piggy Noles,
Am Dm E7 Am
and Sing Sing Tommy Shay, boys.
F Dm B7 E7
God used me as a hammer, boys,
Am Dm E7 Am
To beat his weary drum today.
F Dm B7 E7
Chorus:
Hoist that rag.
Am Dm E7 Am
Hoist that rag.
Am Dm E7 Am
The entire song repeats this verse/chorus cycle, so that's it!
