Blue Skies Tabs

(ver. 1)

                         Tom Waits - Blue Skies
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tuning: Standard
Capo: 1

I'd take a swing at tabbing it out for you. The first three rows on each verse are pretty
much the same, except for the fourth and final row on each line ("Give me another 
woman.."). I tried to tab it out note for note, but it is not 100 percent correct obviously,
though it's pretty close I think. It's a nice song to just play around with so it 
doesn't need to be totally precise.
