• Song:

    Drunk On The Moon

  • Artist:

    Tom Waits

I can't believe this is nowhere to be found on the web. Well, there's one guy on
but the only thing he gets right are the words. So yeah. It's not an easy tab, and I'm not even 
to go near that insane solo saxophone bit. This is just the basic chord 
progression driving the song.

In my opinion this sounds much better without hitting any open strings.. most of the time.

It's in 6/8 time. Or 3/4. I never get that right.
