Black Market Baby Chords & Lyrics - Tom Waits

Intro: G# minor

The bassline moves chromatically from [G#] to [F#] , and then back again. So if you do
like this you can get it:

E|-4-4-4--4-4-4-|
B|-4-4-4--4-4-4-|
G|-4-4-4--4-4-4-|
D|-6-5-4--4-5-6-| (listen to the track for the rhythm)
A|-6-6-6--6-6-6-|
E|-4-4-4--4-4-4-|

But personally I don't bother since you need to strum it funny and it's hard to get
(but if you're playing this with a bassist, you're in the money).

[G#m]She lives in a house
[D#7]That's way back off the road
[G#m]There's a man with a lantern
[D#7]And he carries her soul
[C#m]A coal stove and a bed
[G#m]A skillet and a hound
[C#m]She drove a camel through a needle
[G#m]In this sinking board walk town
[C#m]She's my Black Market Baby
[G#m]She's my Black Market Baby
[D#7]She's a diamond that
Wants to stay [G#m]coal
Wants to stay coal

It doesn't really change for the rest. Listen to the tune for the exact moment of the
changes, since he sometimes sneaks a syllable or two before the new chord kicks in.

Enjoy!
