Chords and lyrics for World Keeps Turning by Tom Waits

On our anniversary

There’ll be some

one else where you

used to be

The world don’t

care and

yet it c

lings to me

And the

moon is gold and

silvery

G/C

Who knows where

the

sidewalk

ends

Well, the road will

turn and the

road will bend

They always

say

he marks the

sparrow’s

fall

How can

anyone

bel

ieve it all?

G/C

Well, the band ha

s stopped playing bu

t we keep dancing

The world keeps

turning,

the world keeps

turning

On his

hand he wore the

ring of an

other

And the world keeps

turning,

the world keeps

turning

We broke t

nk and we tore up the place

And we disa

ppeared oh wit

hout a trace

Now the

sun it

falls

to the sea

And I

know I’m the only

one for me

C/G

I was so green

and the dress you

wore was yellow

And the world keeps

turning

, the world keeps

turning

The sun is

down and the

moon is in the

meadow

And the world keeps

turning

, the world keeps

turning

Put a

hat on your

head

Will you

paint the whole damned town

red

wit

me?

Well, the band has

stopped playing bu

t we keep dancing

The world keeps

turning,

the world keeps

turning

On his

hand he wore the

ring of an

other

The world keeps

turning

, the world keeps

turning

The world keeps

turning

, the world keeps

turning

The world keeps

turning

, the world keeps

turning

Warm Beer And Cold Women

Chords and lyrics for Warm Beer And Cold Women by Tom Waits

Ebmaj9

Warm beer and cold wo

men, I just don’t fit in

Every Joint I stumbled into tonight

That’s just how it’s been.

All these

double knit strangers with

Gin and vermouth,

and recycled stories

In the

naugahyde

booths.

With the

platinum

blondes

Emaj9

, and tobacco brunettes,

I’ll be drinkin to forget you,

I’ll

lite

another

cigarette.

And the

band’s

playin’

something

Emaj9

by Tammy Wynette,

And the drinks are on

tonight.

Walking Spanish

Chords and lyrics for Walking Spanish by Tom Waits

He’s got himself a homemade

special

You know his

glass is full o

nd.

And

feels just like

jaybi

rd,

The way it

fits into hi

hand.

He rolled a blade up in his

trick

towel

They slap their

hands against th

wal

You

never

trip, you neve

stumb

le;

He’s

walking

Spanish, down th

ll.

Slip him a picture of our

Jesu

Or give him a

spoon to dig

le.

What all he

done, ain’t no one’

busine

ss,

But he’ll need

blankets for th

cold.

They dim the lights over on

Broadway

Even

the

king has bowed hi

ad.

And

every

face looks right up a

Maso

Man,

he’s

walking

Spanish down th

ll.

Litella’s screeching for a

blind

pig

Punk

Sanders

carved it out o

od.

never

sang when he go

hoodwink

ed,

They tried it

all, but he neve

would.

Tomorrow morning, there’ll be

laundry

But he’ll be

somewhere else, to hear th

ll,

Don’t say good

-bye; he’s just leavin

ear

ly,

He’s

walking

Spanish down th

ll.

All St. Bartholemew said, was

whispered

Into

the

ear of Blind Jac

Daw

es.

All

Baker

told the m

a-chi

ne,

Was that he

never broke th

law.

Go on and tip your hat up to the

Pilate

Take off your

watch, your rings an

ll.

Even

Jesus

wanted just

a little more ti

me,

When he was walking

Spanish down th

hall.

Walk Away

Chords and lyrics for Walk Away by Tom Waits

Dot King was whittled from the bone of Cain

with a little drop of poison in the

red, red blood

She need a way to turn around the

bend

She said I want to walk away and start over again.

There are things I’ve done I can’t erase

I want to look in the mirror, see

another

face

I said never would I do it

again

I want to walk away, start over again.

rain

roses

way

, shake my thirst in

a cool, cool pond.

rain

roses

way

, shake my thirst in

a cool, cool pond.

They’re catching up

They’re catching up on

Catching up on

Catching up on
