    TRAMPLED ROSE - Tom Waits

Tabbed by: Moonred

Capo 3 (chords written as standard)
The main part of the song is 4/4, but the riff at the end of (almost) every line is in 
timing. Every instrument kind of does their own thing on the riff, but i think this 
the gist of it...

With the fireworks and lea-ves

Blind man with a cup i asked
If he'd sing "Kisses Sweeter Than Wi-ne"
