Rain Dogs by Tom Waits
Rain Dogs
F#m
Inside a broken clock
Splashing the wine
G
With all the rain dogs
F#m
Taxi, we'd rather walk
Huddle a doorway
G C#
with the rain dogs
A G# F#m
For I am a rain dog too
C# F#m
Oh, how we danced and we swallowed the night
C# F#m
For it was all ripe for dreaming
C# F#m
Oh how we danced away all of the lights
D C# G# C#
We've always been out of our minds
The rum pours strong and thin
Beat out the dustmen
with the rain dogs
Aboard a shipwrecked train
give my umbrella
to the rain dogs
for I am a rain dog too
Oh, how we danced with the rose of Tralee
Her long hair black as a raven
Oh, how we danced and you wispered to me
You'll never be going back home
(electric clean low end pickup w/ room reverb guitar lead)
Inside a broken clock...
