Singapore Tom Waits
My Version is similar to the existing one, but i think this one works better, cause i
dont get the other chord changes, this one works! Also i did the whole Song with Chords
AND Lyrics which i find is much more comfortable to lay along. Enjoy!!!
Tom Waits â?? Singapore
(Just the bare chords)
[Bm]We sail tonight for Singapore, we're all as mad as hatters here
I've fallen for a tawny moor, took off to the Land of Nod
[Em]Drank with all the Chinamen, walked the sewers of Paris
[Bm]I danced along a colored wind, dangled from a rope of sand
[F#]You must say goodbye to [Bm]me
[Bm]We sail tonight for Singapore, don't fall asleep while you're ashore
Cross your heart and hope to die, when you hear the children cry
[Em]Let marrowbone and cleaver choose, while making feet for children's shoes
[Bm]Through the alley, back from hell, when you hear that steeple bell
[F#]You must say goodbye to [Bm]me
[Em]Wipe him down with gasol[Bm]ine, til[Em]l his arms are h[Bm]ard and mean
[Em] [Bm] [D] [F#]
[Bm]We sail tonight for Singapore, take your blankets from the floor
Wash your mouth out by the door, the whole town's made of iron ore
[Em]Every witness turns to steam, they all become Italian dreams
[Bm]Fill your pockets up with earth, get yourself a dollar's worth
[F#]Away boys away boys, hea[Bm]ve away
[Em]The captain is a[Bm] one-armed dwarf[Em], he's throwing dice alo[Bm]ng the wharf
[Em]In the land of the blind[Bm], the one-eyed m[D]an is King So take this rin[F#]g
[Bm]We sail tonight for Singapore, we're all as mad as hatters here
I've fallen for a tawny moor, took off to the Land of Nod
[Em]Drank with all the Chinamen, walked the sewers of Paris
[Bm]I danced along a colored wind, dangled from a rope of sand
[F#]You must say goodbye to [Bm]me
