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
The stairs sound so lonely without you
I ain t made my bed in a week, Coffee stains on the paper I m writing
And I m too choked up inside to speak
Well yes I know that our differences pulled us apart
Never spoke a word heart to heart, I m glad that you re gone
But I wish to the Lord you d come home
Yes I m gla--ad that you re gone, Got the feeling so strong
I m glad that you re gone, But I wish to the Lord that you d come home
Well my guitar still plays your favorite song
Though the strings have been outta tune for some time
Every time I play a chord, I pray out to the Lord
That you ll quit your honkey-tonk and sing my song
Yes I m gla--ad that you re gone, Got the feeling so strong
I m glad that you re gone, But I wish to the Lord that you d come home
So I ll Throw another log onto the fire,
And, I ll admit I m a lousy liar
As the coals die down and flicker, I hear that guitar picker
Play the song we used to sing so long ago
Yes I m gla--ad glad that you re gone, Got the feeling so strong
I m glad that you re gone, But I wish to the Lord you d come home
