Hoist That Rag Chords & Lyrics - Tom Waits

[INTRO]
2x [Am] [Dm] [E] [Am]

Well I lea[Am]rned the t[Dm]rade
From [E]Piggy Kn[Am]owles
Sing Sing [Dm]Tommy [E]Shay Boys
God us[A]med me [Dm]as a [E]hammer [Am]boys
To beat his [Dm]weary dr[E]um today
Hoist that rag (2x)

2x [Am] [Dm] [E] [Am]

The sun is up the world is flat
Damn good address for a rat
The smell of blood
The Drone of flies
You know what to do if
The baby cries
Hoist that rag (2x)

2x [Am] [Dm] [E] [Am]

Well we stick our fingers in the ground,
heave and turn the world around
Smoke is blacking out the sun
At night I pray and clean my gun
The cracked bell rings as the ghost bird sings
and the gods go beggin here
So just open fire when you hit the shore
All is fair in love and war
Hoist that rag (4x)
