Chord Ponchos Lament by Tom Waits

noticed that no - one had posted this great old waits tune , so here ya’ll go with some basic fill in bass string runs from the G chord up to the B7 and again from the G down to the E chord this sounds pretty passable if you like it rate it , * flatwound * poncho’s lament tom waits G D G the stairs sound so lonely without you B7 C C D G E i ain’t made my bed in a week , coffee stains on the paper i’m writing A7 D and i’m too choked up inside to speak G D G well yes i know that our differences pulled us apart B7 C C D G E never spoke a word heart to heart , i’m glad that you’re gone A7 D G D but i wish to the lord you’d come home G D G B7 C yes i’m gla - - ad that you’re gone , got the feeling so strong C D G E A7 D G D i’m glad that you’re gone , but i wish to the lord that you’d come home G D G well my guitar still plays your favorite song B7 C though the strings have been outta tune for some time C D G E every time i play a chord , i pray out to the lord A7 D G D that you’ll quit your honkey - tonk and sing my song G D G B7 C yes i’m gla - - ad that you’re gone , got the feeling so strong C D G E A7 D G D i’m glad that you’re gone , but i wish to the lord that you’d come home G D G so i’ll throw another log onto the fire , B7 C and , i’ll admit i’m a lousy liar C D G E as the coals die down and flicker , i hear that guitar picker A7 D G D play the song we used to sing so long ago G D G B7 C yes i’m gla - - ad glad that you’re gone , got the feeling so strong C D G E A7 D G i’m glad that you’re gone , but i wish to the lord you’d come home
