Drunk on the Moon Tom Waits
I can't believe this is nowhere to be found on the web. Well, there's one guy on
but the only thing he gets right are the words. So yeah. It's not an easy tab, and I'm not even
to go near that insane solo saxophone bit. This is just the basic chord
progression driving the song.
In my opinion this sounds much better without hitting any open strings.. most of the time.
It's in 6/8 time. Or 3/4. I never get that right.

[Cmaj7]Tight-slacked clad [Dbm7b5]girls on the [Dm7]graveyard [Ebdim7]shift
'Neath the [Em7]cement [Fmaj7]stroll
Catch the [E7]midnight [Am7]drift
[Fmaj7]Cigar chewing [F7]Charlie
In that [Em7]newspaper nest[A7]
grifting [Dm7]hot horse tips[G7]
On who's [Cmaj7]running the best[C7]
And I'm [Bm7]blinded by the [E7]neon
[Am]Don't try and [Am7/G]change my t[D7sus2/F#]une
[Fmaj7]'Cause I thought I heard a [F7]saxophone
[Em7] [A7] [D9] [G9] [Em7]
[D9]I'm[G9] drunk on the moon
[Cmaj7]And the moon's a silver [Dbm7b5]slipper
It's pouring [Dm7]champagne [Ebdim7]stars
[Em7]Broadway's like a [Fmaj7]serpent
Pulling [E7]shiny top-down [Am7]cars
[Fmaj7]Laramer is [F7]teeming
With that [Em7]undulating [A7]beat
And some [Dm7]Bonneville is [G9]screaming
It's way [Cmaj7]wilder down the [C7]street
And I'm [Bm7]blinded by the [E7]neon
[Am]Don't try and [Am7/G]change my t[D7sus2/F#]une
[Fmaj7]'Cause I thought I heard a [F7]saxophone
[Em7] [A7] [D9] [G9] [Em7]
[D9]I'm[G9] drunk on the moon
[Cmaj7]Hearts flutter and [Dbm7b5]race
The [Dm7]moon's on the [Ebdim7]wane
[Em7]Tarts mutter their [Fmaj7]dream hopes
The [E7]night will [Am7]ordain
[Fmaj7]Come schemers and [F7]dancers
[Em7]Cherry delight[A7]
As a [Dm7]Cleveland-bound [G9]Greyhound
And it [Cmaj7]cuts through the night[C7]
And I've [Bm7]harked all my yester[E7]days
[Am]Don't try and [Am7/G]change my t[D7sus2/F#]une
[Fmaj7]'Cause I thought I heard a [F7]saxophone
[Em7] [A7] [D9] [G9] [Em7]
[D9]I'm[G9] dr[Ab6/9]unk on the moon
