Burma Shave Tab uke di Tom Waits (Accordi Baritono)

Dm7       C7     Dm7                C7 
 Licorice tattoo turned a gun metal blue,
Dm7       C7         Fm7       Eb   G#    C7 
 Scrawled across the shoulders of a dying town.
Dm7                C7   Dm7                  C7 
 Took the one eyed Jacks across the railroad tracks,
         Dm7  C7     Fm7   Eb       G#               C7 
 And the scar on its belly pulled a stranger passing through.
Dm7               C7         Dm7                    C7 
 He's a juvenile delinquent, never learned how to behave,
         Bbm7                          C7    Dm7 
 But the cops'd never think to look in Burma-Shave.

         Bbm7            C7              Dm7             C7 
 And the road was like a ribbon, and the moon was like a bone,  
    Dm7    C7      Fm7     Eb  G#             C7 
 He didn't seem to be like any guy she'd ever known.
 Dm7                         C7       Dm7                   C7 
 He kinda looked like Farley Granger, with his hair slicked back, 
                Dm7    C7    Fm7   Eb   G#     C7 
 She says I'm a sucker for a fella in a cowboy hat.
Dm7              C7 
 How far are you going?
         Dm7        Bbm7     C7 
 He said depends on what you mean?
             Bbm7                           C7 
 He says I'm only stoppin' here to get some gasoline.
   Dm7             C7       Dm7                  C7 
 I guess I'm going thataway just as long as it's paved, 
       Bbm7                             C7    Dm7 
 And I guess you'd say I'm on my way to Burma-Shave   

 
              Bbm7                  C7          
And  with her knees up on the glove compartment,  
Dm7               C7 
Took out her barrettes,  
         Dm7         C7       Fm7 
And her hair spilled out like root beer, 
          G#               C7 
And she popped her gum and arched her back. 
       Dm7               C7            Dm7             C7 
Hell Marysville ain't nothing but a wide spot in the road, 
     Bbm7                                         
Some night my heart pounds just like thunder I don't know 
C7 
Why it don't explode.
Dm7                      C7                                   
Cause everyone in this stinking town,  
            Dm7         C7 
Has got one foot in the grave, 
          Bbm7 
And I'd rather take my chances, 
         C7       Dm7 
Out in Burma-Shave.
   
 
Dm7                C7        Dm7                   C7 
Presley's what I go by, why don't you change the station 
           Dm7  C   Fm7           G#       C7 
Count the grain elevators in the rearview mirror 
           Dm7        C7                                                 
Mister anywhere you point this thing,  
                    Dm7             C7 
Has got to beat the hell out of the sting 
Dm7         C#         C7             Dm7                C7 
Of going to bed with every dream that dies here every mornin,  
      Bbm7        C7 
And so drill me a hole,
       Dm7 
With a barber pole.
     Bbm7         C7              Dm7         C7 
I'm jumping my parole just like a fugitive tonight, 
             Bbm7           C7          
Why don't you have another swig, 
       Dm7          C7     
and pass that car if you're so brave?
            Bbm7 
I wanna get there before the sun comes up in 
C7       Dm7 
Burma-Shave.
 
         Dm7    C   Fm7   Eb     G#        C7 
And the spider web crack and the mustang screamed 
Dm7    C        Fm7   Eb      G#        C7 
Smoke from the tires and the twisted machine 
         Dm7               C7              Dm7                C7 
Just a nickel's worth of dreams and every wishbone that they saved 
 
     Bbm7 
Lie swindled from them on the way to 
C7        Dm7 
Burma shave   
 
 
        Bbm7         C7          Dm7             C7 
And the sun hit the derrick and cast a bat wing shadow 
Bbm7           C7               Dm7         C7 
Up against the car door on the shotgun side 
               Bbm7                  C7 
And when they pulled her from the wreck you know she  
Dm7               C7 
Still had on her shades 
               Bbm7 
They say that dreams are growing wild just this side of 
C7        Dm7 
Burma Shave
