  • Awesome work! Could you maybe make a "guitar lesson" for this one, really want to learn it. Sincerely a huge Tom Waits fan.

  • Nobody can sing Tom Waits except the man himself ... I thought.

    But your version is actually very competent and beautiful.

    Take this cadeau from a huge TW fan!

  • Absolutely a fantastic guitar teaching video for this song. Of course, you gotta be pretty good to pull it off like you did. Great job! Thanks for posting.

  • Hi!

    Thank you very much! :-)

    I'm glad you enjoyed it.

  • Very nice cover, thanks for sharing :)

  • Thanks Michelle!

  • This is near to a studio version, good music.

    But where is the pain?

  • Thanks!

    Sorry about the lack of pain though. ;-)

  • Beautiful. Keep it up x

  • Thanks!

  • I'm gonna use all your Waits videos as living tabs :) This song always gets a good response, but your arrangements are WAY better than my poor guitar playing outcome.

    How you noticed how good Tom songs are? It would be very easy to fall into the "whiny sad guitar guy" category with this acoustic numbers, but the sheer quality and feeling of the originals prevents that.

    Ah! Congrats! Nice voice, great playing!

  • Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

    Well, I started listen to his music many yeas ago, and they kind of grew on me. :-) Definitely my favorite musician.

  • Opsss... It should have read "HAVE you noticed" :)

    Anyway, I love your renditions. The only one I don't like that much is "Better off without a wife". It's not because it deviates from the original (In fact, I appreciate it when a cover brings something new), but for the fact that I've always played and understood it as a barroom celebration drunken bachelors singalong. Your arrangement is more spoken-word "nighthawks" oriented. But kudos for givin' it your own style! Keep postin!

  • :-)

    Thank you very much.

    I'm glad you're enjoying my posts.

    Planing on posting a version of "Time" soon.

    Have a great weekend!

    Håkon

  • Very nice rendition. I've been a long time fan of Tom Waits, and in my humble opinion, yours is the best next to Tom. You could light my cigarette, tho we've never met.

  • :-D Thank you very much!

    I'm glad you enjoyed it.

  • Glad to hear you're glad :)

  • Usually i don't like "replays", but I liked it a lot. Added as a favourite. Good luck or what. :)

  • Thanks!

    Glad to hear you enjoyed it.

  • Bravo!!!

  • Thanks for listening!

  • Very well done :).

  • Thanks!

  • you've made this one of my favourite songs :)

    its so beautiful....

  • Hi Kat!

    Thank you very much! I'm glad you enjoyed it. :-)

  • i myt try n make my boyfriendlear it for e, wierd lyrics for your bf to sing tho but its so petty

  • Thanks for stopping by! :-)

  • AAAAHHHHHH enfin, I was looking for this song for a while.

  • great job!

  • Thanks!

  • this has to be the most authentic version of this song i've found on here. this is one of my favorites, so i appreciate the understated, gentle way you played and sang it. kudos.

  • Hi!

    I'm glad you did! :-)

    I'll probably soon post a old video I found. It's a version from Tom's early years. A little bit different.

    Håkon

  • Lookin forward to it :)

  • Thanks. Think I may be able to play it now!

  • may i request for a tab??

  • Sorry, don't have them around anymore.

    But you can find the tab for the main guitar on internet.

    It's pretty accurate.

  • good enough..thanks

  • Excellent job on one of my fav. Tom Waits songs...

  • Thanks!

  • hey great song , great playing and great singing. 2 questions: 1st: what key do you play it on

    2nd: i know the chord progression goes like........ I IV V I IV V IV I IV I IV I IV V I IV V I... but on the third verse, the part that goes "this old tomcat feelings you dont understand" you replaced the IV chord with a different chord and it sounds really nice. what chord is that? sounds to me like a diminished chord but im not sure. please help.

  • Hi!

    Sorry about my late respond.

    Well, which guitar do you mean. The "main"-guitar is played in C. No capo on that one. And when it comes to "this old tomcat feelings you dont understand," I don't change the chord. Maybe it's the guitar in the background that plays it.

  • Crystal!

  • Thanks again. :-)

  • whoever sang this song has a great voice..

    i lovethis song. , ^^

  • Thanks! :-)

  • did u sing this song???

  • Yes, I did.

  • coool man.,!

    ^^

  • Awesome! Do you know the name of the TW song with the lines"I don't want you catchin' your death of cold, Out walkin in the rain? Thanks, dbcooper

  • Glad you enjoyed it.

    The line is from "Please Call Me Baby."

    Another great song. :-)

  • Tan thanks very much appreciated!5/5!

  • That´s perfect amigo, I play this one myself and try to incorporate the two guitars in one, i didn´t realise the second was with a capo! Great job, truly impressive

    Really? You can't play it. It works fine here.

    If not, you can find it on my podcast in iTunes.

    Or you can listen to it on my site:
