WWW.AZCHORDS.COM | Tom Waits - Ponchos Lament Ukulele | Ver. 1
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
F G F
The stairs sound so lonely without you
E7 F F G F A
I ain't made my bed in a week, Coffee stains on the paper I'm writing
D7 G
And I'm too choked up inside to speak
F G F
Well yes I know that our differences pulled us apart
E7 F F G F A
Never spoke a word heart to heart, I'm glad that you're gone
D7 G F G
But I wish to the Lord you'd come home
F G F E7 F
Yes I'm gla--ad that you're gone, Got the feeling so strong
F G F A D7 G F G
I'm glad that you're gone, But I wish to the Lord that you'd come home
F G F
Well my guitar still plays your favorite song
E7 F
Though the strings have been outta tune for some time
F G F A
Every time I play a chord, I pray out to the Lord
D7 G F G
That you'll quit your honkey-tonk and sing my song
F G F E7 F
Yes I'm gla--ad that you're gone, Got the feeling so strong
F G F A D7 G F G
I'm glad that you're gone, But I wish to the Lord that you'd come home
F G F
So I'll Throw another log onto the fire,
E7 F
And, I'll admit I'm a lousy liar
F G F A
As the coals die down and flicker, I hear that guitar picker
D7 G F G
Play the song we used to sing so long ago
F G F E7 F
Yes I'm gla--ad glad that you're gone, Got the feeling so strong
F G F A D7 G F
I'm glad that you're gone, But I wish to the Lord you'd come home
