Black Market Baby 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!
