...UNION SQUARE... by Tom Waits ------------------............. *from 'Rain Dogs' (1985)* Verse 1:

Well, ^B7time is always money, For the ^E7boys on Union Square. Go on and ^B7bust your ass 'till doomsday, Don't for-^E7get to say your prayers.

^B7 Someone's riding down the backstreet, Said ^E7papa got a brand new slack. And your ^B7baby is handcuffed on the front seat, Sit right ^E7there, boy and you re-^F#7lax. C'mon, honey...

Chorus 1:

We're all going ^B7down, down, down, down-^F#7town, We're going ^B7down, down-^E7town, we're going ^B7down, ^F#7down-^B7town.

Verse 2:

Well, you ^B7spill out of the Cinema Fourteen, To that ^E7drag bar, there on the block. ^B7 Whizzin' on down in front of the East Coast, ^E7 Bank rolled up on your sock.

She ^B7stand right there, for your pleasure, ^E7 Half Puerto Rican Chinese. You got to ^B7find your baby somebody to measure, I'm going to ^E7get me some of ^F#7these, baby. C'mon honey, do you hear what I'm doing now?

Chorus 2:

We're all going ^B7down, down, down, down-^F#7town, We're going ^B7down, down-^E7town, we're going ^B7down, ^F#7down-^B7town.

Verse 3:

'Bout ^B7four in the morning on a Sunday, ^E7 Sacco drinking whiskey in church. ^B7 Half pint of festival brandy, That ^E7boy 'bout to fall right off his perch.

^B7 Well, that guy in the sweater's off duty, ^E7 Well, he's out in front of that Welfare hotel. The ^B7guy in the dress is a beauty; Go all the ^E7way, I swear you never can ^F#7tell. C'mon honey and pull up your socks.

Chorus 3:

We're all going ^B7down, down, down, down-^F#7town, We're going ^B7down, down-^E7town, we're going ^B7down, ^F#7down-^B7town.

We're all going ^B7down, down, down, down-^F#7town, We're going ^B7down, down-^E7town, we're going ^B7down, ^F#7down-^B7town.
