This is one of the rare moments in music business where an originally great song is transformed to an even higher level. This version is outstanding! Waitswatcher, I thank You for this song!
man this is just amazing...i cant believe im still the last person to comment, i would have excpected 100 comments by now, its awesome. So i know its in drop D but are there tabs at all man? sorry to bug you abotu that again
Hey man this is freakin AMAZING!!! You play this unbelievably, better then the man himself in my opinion. Is there any way you could post the chords you use?
Its all basic D major chords, D , G & A, and a Em7 somewhere in the chorus.... its a simple structure, but maybe a bit difficult to get the melody woven in...
Love the arrangement - beautiful playing. So many pesky tab questions . . . here's mine, what's the tuning? open/drop D? whole thing down a step? would love to try and recreate this at home. Keep it up
I'm wary of Waits covers - Tom's one of a kind, he's a tough act to follow. You, my friend, have indeed captured the spirit of this song (in my humble opinion). Play on!
Well I've finally started collecting Favorites and this one is now one of them! Beautiful. I posted my remastered stereo version of this great song as a video response.

Beautiful. If I were to venture one tiny critique- it would be to slow it down. Without ballast, absolutely. Now... let it breathe.
terraverte 3 years ago

I see your point & I played it much slower before and increased the tempo for this recording on purpose.
I had the feeling that a slower more rubato playing made it a bit kitschy.
Guess its just a matter of taste ... :-)
