Goin Out West by Tom Waits
Goin Out West
C5
Well I'm goin' out west
Where the wind blows tall
'Cause Tony Franciosi
Used to date my ma
They got some money out there
They're giving it away
I'm gonna do what I want
And I'm gonna get paid
Bb5 C5
Little brown sausages
Bb5 C5
Lying in the sand
Bb5 C5
I ain't no extra baby
Bb5 C5
I'm a leading man
Bb5 C5
Well my parole officer
WIll be proud of me
With my Olds 88
And the devil on a leash
Bb5 C5
My Olds 88
And the devil on a leash
Eb5 F5 Eb5 F5
Well I know karate, Voodoo too
Bb5 C5 Bb5 C5
I'm gonna make myself available to you
Eb5 F5
I don't need no make up
Eb5 C5
I got real scars
G5
I got hair on my chest
G5
I look good without a shirt
Well I don't lose my composure
In a high speed chase
Well my friends think I'm ugly
I got a masculine face
I got some dragstrip courage
I can really drive a bed
I'm gonna change my name
To Hannibal or maybe
Just Rex
Change my name to Hannibal
Or maybe just Rex
I'm gonna drive all night
Take some speed
I'm gonna wait for the sun
To shine down on me
I cut a hole in my roof
In the shape of a heart
And I'm goin' out west
Where they'll appreciate me
Goin' out west
Goin' out west

version 2
The trick is to tune the "E" all the way down to a "C" so its in "CADGBe" Tuning.
*NOTE* this is just a really rough outline of what I play, but I figured people could
probably figure it out.
Verse/Intro Variation
E------------------------------------------------|
B------------------------------------------------|
G------------------------------------------------|
D-5----------4-----------------------------------|
A-----------------------6------------------------|
C--0-3-0-0-----3-0-3-0----3-0-3-0-0--0-3-0-0-3-0-|
then
E------------------------------------------------|
B------------------------------------------------|
G------------------------------------------------|
D-5----------4-----------------------------------|
A-----------------------6--3---------------------|
C--0-3-0-0-----3-0-3-0-------0-3-0---------------|
The timing of the "C" string notes is awkaward to tab out, but you'll get it by
listening, it's actually pretty easy.
The "Distorted" Riff comes up a few times, and varies off of these chords.
e----------------------------|
B----------------------------|
G-3/5-5-5-5----3/5-5-5-5-----|
D-3/5-5-5-5----3/5-5-5-5-----|
A-1/3-3-3-3----1/3-3-3-3-----|
C----------------------------|
The timing is sort of weird, and sometimes he throws in mutes/odd harmonics based around
those chords.
And occasionally, he does this this tiny riff back into the other riffs, it looks like
this. it's most profound at 1:07ish
e---------------------------------|
B---------------------------------|
G-3/5-5-5-5----3/5-5-5-5----------|
D-3/5-5-5-5----3/5-5-5-5----------|
A-1/3-3-3-3----1/3-3-3-3----------|
C------------------------h6h5h4h0-|
The chorus is similar to the distorted riff, but starts higher.
e-----------------|
B-----------------|
G-8/10-10-10-10---|
D-8/10-10-10-10---|
A-6/8--8--8--8----|
C-----------------| x 2
Then
e----------------------------|
B----------------------------|
G-3/5-5-5-5----3/5-5-5-5-----|
D-3/5-5-5-5----3/5-5-5-5-----|
A-1/3-3-3-3----1/3-3-3-3-----|
C----------------------------|
Then back to
e-----------------|
B-----------------|
G-8/10-10-10-10---|
D-8/10-10-10-10---|
A-6/8--8--8--8----|
C-----------------|
And he goes up to a D, strums it a few times during the end of the chorus, and goes back
into the verse.

G-10/12-12-12-12-12-|
D-10/12-12-12-12-12-|
