Hey good job on this- U seem to have caught a bit of the morbidness this song encompasses- I dont know if the other people that cover this song even know what a dime bag of schoolboy is- So alot of people who cover this song sing it a bit too cheery for me- Even you have a bit of pretty going on ya know- But other than that u did a great job- Probably my favorite Tom Waits song- If there is such a thing
Hey, I like your singing and your playing. You're a really talented young man. Do you have the mp3 to the original for this song as well as your singing? You're the best!!
Yeah. You gotta love Tom Waits. FIrst time I saw him was on "Fernwood Tonight" with Martin Mull. Just about made me wet from laughing. Even though you still got that mellow feeling.
Great playing - you nail it. Thank you for posting the tab on your website. This has been one of my favourite songs ever since I first heard it years ago in that documentary. Any chance of you posting a tab for Blue Valentine? Thanks again!
Otherwise great, but I'm pretty sure you got the lyrics wrong in the first line; you sing "dagger's to moolight, murder's in the sheets" - the line is actually "daggers of moonlight murder the sheets". :)
Wow, your voice is great. I'm sincerely impressed.

Yes, I play blue valentines. It's a great song. But I haven't tabbed yet. I'll see what I can do.
You can find the basic patterns of the song on the internet.
I think its on OlgaDOTcom. Try that. Not sure how accurate it is though.
Later!
