Little Drop Of Poison Uke tab by Tom Waits (Baritone Chords)

Cm                      Fm
I like my town with a little drop of poison
G                                 Cm
Nobody knows they're lining up to go insane
        Cm                Fm
I'm all alone, I smoke my friends down to the filter
G                                Cm
But I feel much cleaner after it rains


Cm
And she left in the fall, that's her picture on the wall
                                   Fm      Gm Cm
She always had that little drop of poison


         Cm                                Fm
Did the devil make the world while God was sleeping?
G                                 Cm
There'll never get a wish from a bone
              Cm            Fm
Another wrong goodbye and a hundred sailors
G                        Cm
That deep blue sky is my home


         Cm
And she left in the fall, that's her picture on the wall
                                   Fm     G Cm
She always had that little drop of poison

Dm

Dm                                 Gm
Well, a rat always knows when he's in with weasels
A                            Dm
Here you lose a little every day
         Dm                      Gm
Well, I remember when a million was a million
A                              Dm
They all have ways to make you pay


          Dm
And she left in the fall, that's her picture on the wall
                                   Gm      A Dm
She always had that little drop of poison


          Dm
And she left in the fall, that's her picture on the wall
                                   Gm     A Dm
She always had that little drop of poison


# If you want it to sound proper, strum similarly to the piano in the original, and  # slide up on every fourth beat (not fourth strum). For those who need exact                                                                # instruction, this is how it should look when you slide:
# 
# Cm: slide up one fret so you bar 1st, 2nd, and 3rd strings at second fret
# Fm: slide so fingers on 2nd and 4th strings are completely off, and holding second # fret 4th string
# G:Only slide 1st and 2nd string finders up to the first fret
# Dm: Holding 1st and 2nd string first fret 
# Gm: no longer holding 1st string, 2nd string second fret, 3rd string first fret
# A: It sounds funny to slide so I don't, but if you disagree4th string first fret
