Chord Dead Lovely by Tom Waits

this song has a capo on the third fret . in order to keep things easy , i will name the as if the capo is the nut of the neck . ex what is considered C minor will now be called minor . there are a few things to remember for playing this song . first there is an alternating bass line between the root of a chord and the string above ex for A C chord alternate the lowest C note with A G . second there is a walkdown at the end of the intro and chorus that starts with A C add and walks the C note down to A B then the chord changes to an a minor . the catch is the C add nine isn’t played the usual way . you don’t add your fourth finger to any string instead take off the finger you have on the D string . making the walkdown look like this E - 0 - - 0 - - 0 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | B - 1 - - 1 - - 1 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | G - 0 - - 0 - - 2 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | D - 0 - - 0 - - 2 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | A - 3 - - 2 - - 0 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | E - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | amin Cadd9 walkdown amin amin she was a middle class girl she was in over her head dmin she thought she would amin stand up in the deep end he had a bullet proof smile he had money to burn dmin she thought she had the moon amin in her pocket Fmaj but now she’s dead amin Fmaj she’s so dead Cadd9 walkdown amin forever dead and lovely now dmin Bmaj dmin i’ve always been told to Bmaj remember this . . . amin Fmaj B7sus4 don’t let a fool kiss you Emaj never marry for love amin he was hard to impress dmin he knew everyone’s secrets amin he wore her on his arm just like jewelry he never gave but he got dmin he kept her on a leash he’s not the kind of wheel amin you fall asleep at Fmaj but now she’s dead amin Fmaj forever dead amin Cadd9 walkdown amin forever dead and lovely now dmin Bmaj dmin come closer , look deeper Bmaj you’ve fallen fast amin Fmaj just like a plane on A B7sus4 Emaj stormy sea amin she made up someone to be dmin she made up somewhere to be from this is one business in the amin world where that’s no problem at all everything that is left dmin they will only plow under soon every one you know amin will be gone Fmaj and now she’s dead amin forever dead Cadd9 walkdown forever dead and lovely now amin dmin amin dmin Fmaj now she’s dead amin forever dead Cadd9 walkdown amin forever dead and lovely now dmin Bmaj dmin i’ve always been told to Bmaj remember this . . . dmin Fmaj B7sus4 don’t let a kiss fool you Emaj never marry for love amin everything has its price dmin everything has its place what’s more romantic amin then dying in the moonlight? now they’re all watching the sea dmin what’s lost can never be broken her roots were sweet amin but they were so shallow Fmaj and now she’s dead amin forever dead Cadd9 walkdown amin forever dead and lovely now Fmaj and now she’s dead amin forever dead Cadd9 walkdown amin and she’s so dead and lovely now * B7sus4 E - - - - - - - - - - | B - - - - - - - - - - | G - - - 2 - - - - - - | D - - - 2 - - - - - - | A - - - 2 - - - - - - | E - - - 2 - - - - - - |
