Fall Of Troy Ukulele

(ver. 1)
Tom Waits
   I know it's not exactly right, but it's simple and 
   leaves room to work out how to sing the really deep
   notes in the song. 
        If you like it,... rate it!

                             FALL OF TROY
                            (Waits/Brennan)
     C       G      C     G

            C                                F
  It's the same with men as with horses and dogs
    C      G        C
  Nothing wants to die
    C                               F
  Ethel and james they killed in a game
        C            G
  With guns too big for their hands
   C                          F
  Just off Saint Charles, in no-man's land
              C                 G       C     F
  And you'll have to find your own way home, boys,
          C                 G       C
  You'll have to find your own way home

        C                                    F
  The oldest was Troy, an eighteen year old boy
        C        G            C
  Shot dead in march, in a robbery
        C                                   F
  His brothers started out, to hell and to ruin
           C                   G
  Troy's killers were never, caught they say
    C                       F
  Young Nick, he just went bad that day
             C                G       C     F
  Now he'll have to find his own way home, boy's,
         C                G       C
  He'll have to find his own way home

 G                 C                G                   C
  Why cook dinner,  why make my bed,  why come home, at all
   F                 C          Am
  Out the door and through the woods,
             C            Am     Em  G 
  There's a world where nothing grows

        C                                    F
  It's hard to say grace, and to sit in the place
               C     G       C    G
  Of someone missing at the table
         C                                      F
  Mom's hair sprayed tight and her face in her hands
     C               G
  Watching T.V. for answers to me
    C                    F
  After all she's only human 
              C                 G       C     F
  And she's trying to find her own way home, boy's
          C                 G       C
  She's trying to find her own way home

 C         G        C        F         C       G        Am
  My legs ache, my heart is sore, the well is full of pennies
