This is one of my favorite songs by Tom Waits. It sounds really beautiful with a not as raspy voice sings it (no offense Tom). It is pretty simple. Standard tuning. If you want the right key put a capo on the first fret. You need to have a real low voice to match his key. I usually end up putting a capo on the second or third fret so I can reach the lower notes.Also, it takes a while to get used to his rhythm and sound in the song. But anyways, here is the chords if you don't already know them: C: x32010 F: xx3211 G: 320003 E: 022100 Am: x02210 C/B:x20010 C7 x32310 Fm: x33111 C F Someday the silver moon and I will go to dreamland G C I will close my eyes and wake up there in dreamland E Am And Tell me who will put flowers on a flower's grave? F G Who will say a prayer? C F Will I meet a China rose there in dreamland? G C Or does love lie bleeding in dreamland? C/B F Are these days forever and always? C And if we are to die tonight G C C7 Is there a moonlight up ahead? F C And if we are to die tonight G C Another rose will bloom F C For a faded rose E F Will I be the one that you save? F Fm I love when it showers C F But no one puts flowers C G C On a flower's grave F C As one rose blooms and another will die G C C7 It's always been that way F Fm I remember the showers C F But no one puts flowers C G C On a flower's grave F C And if we are to die tonight G C C7 Is there a moonlight up ahead?
