Artist: Tom Waits
intro: | [F13] | [Bb13] | [F13] | [F13] |
[Bb13]Well, frank settled down in the Valley,
[F13]and he hung his wil[Eb9]d years on a
[D7b9]nail that he dro[Gm9]ve through his wife's forehead.
[C9aug]He sold used office furniture out
[F13] Ab13#11
there on San Fernando Road and
G13#11 [C7#9]
assumed a $30,000 loan at
15 1/4 % [F13]and put a down payment
on a[Bb13] little two bedroom place.[F13]
[F13]His wife was a spent piece of [Bb13]used jet trash
Made good bloody mary's, kept her mouth
shut most of [F13]the time, had a little Chihuahua
named Carlos tha[Eb9]t had s[D7b9]ome kind of [Gm9]skin disease
and was totally blind.
[C9aug]They had a thoroughly modern kitchen;
[F13] Ab13#11
self-cleaning oven (the whole bit)
G13#11
Frank drove a little sedan.
[C7#9]They were so happy.
[F13]One night Frank was on his way [Bb13]home
from work, stopped at the [F13]liquor store,
picked up a couple of Mickey's Big Mouth’s.
Drank 'em i[Bb13]n the car on his way to the
Shell station; he got a gallon of gas i[F13]n a can.
Drove home, douse[Eb9]d everything in
[D7b9]the house, torched [Gm9]it.
Parked across the stree[C9aug]t laughing,
[F13] Ab13#11
watching it burn, all Halloween
G13#11 [C7#9]
orange and chimney red.
[F13]Then frank put on[Bb13] a top forty station,
go[F13]t on the Hollywood freeway headed North.
[Bb13]Never could stand that dog.
Outro: | [F13] | [Eb9] | [D7b9] | [Gm9] | [C7b9] | [F13] | [Db7b5] | [Bb/C] | [F] | C7#9#5 | [F13] |
