Poncho's Lament Tabulatur von Tom Waits (für Baryton)

C               G        C
   The stairs sound so lonely without you
E7                           F             F            G           C    A
   I ain't made my bed in a week, Coffee stains on the paper I'm writing
            D7                      G
   And I'm too choked up inside to speak
                C    G                      C         
   Well yes  I know    that our differences   pulled us apart
 E7                              F           F    G           C   A
   Never spoke a word heart to heart,   I'm glad that you're gone
          D7          G               C    G
   But I wish to the Lord you'd come home 


         C    G              C   E7                     F
Yes I'm gla--ad that you're gone,  Got the feeling so strong
      F   G           C   A        D7          G                    C   G
I'm glad that you're gone,  But I wish to the Lord that you'd come home

 
             C            G           C
   Well my guitar still plays your favorite song
E7                                                   F
   Though the strings have been outta tune for some time
          F              G         C               A
   Every time I play a chord,   I pray out to the Lord
                D7               G                C    G
   That you'll quit your honkey-tonk and sing my song


         C    G              C   E7                     F
Yes I'm gla--ad that you're gone,  Got the feeling so strong
      F   G           C   A        D7          G                    C   G
I'm glad that you're gone,  But I wish to the Lord that you'd come home


 C                        G            C
   So I'll Throw another log onto the fire, 
 E7                                 F
   And, I'll admit I'm a lousy liar
           F                   G         C                 A
   As the coals die down and flicker, I hear that guitar picker
             D7              G            C    G
   Play the song we used to sing so long ago 


         C    G                   C   E7                     F
Yes I'm gla--ad glad that you're gone,  Got the feeling so strong
      F   G           C   A         D7          G               C
I'm glad that you're gone,  But I wish to the Lord you'd come home
