Great song by Tom Waits from the album "Real Gone." Key of Am, standard tuning.

Guitar solo not included this time, sorry! I just wanted to correct a lot of 
simplified interpretations of the harmonies that don't do the real song justice.

Intro:

Am, Dm, E7, Am, F, Dm, B7, E7

Verse 1:

Well I learned the trade from Piggy Noles,
           Am (x02210@1)             Dm (xx0231@1)         E7 (020130@1)        Am (x02210@1)and Sing Sing Tommy Shay, boys.
        F (133211@1)            Dm (xx0231@1)      B7 (x21202@1)    E7 (020130@1)God used me as a hammer, boys,
Am (x02210@1)                Dm (xx0231@1)E7 (020130@1)           Am (x02210@1)To beat his weary drum today.
      F (133211@1)         Dm (xx0231@1)   B7 (x21202@1)          E7 (020130@1)Chorus:

Hoist that rag.
                  Am (x02210@1)      Dm (xx0231@1)    E7 (020130@1)      Am (x02210@1)Hoist that rag.
                   Am (x02210@1)     Dm (xx0231@1)    E7 (020130@1)      Am (x02210@1)The entire song repeats this verse/chorus cycle, so that's it!
