WHO ARE YOU (Tom Waits)   [tab by AL#13]

capo on 1st fret

intro D

               D                       G          D          
Well, they're lining up...to mad-dog your Tilt-a-Whirl
   D                              D         D
Three shots for a dollar...win a real live doll
         Bm            F#m        G                    D
All the lies that you tell, well I...believed them so well
           D                            G   D
Take them back, take them back to your red house
          D               D       D
For that fearful leap...into the dark
         Bm        F#m         G           D 
Oh well, I did my time in the jail of your arms
     G                D         G           D
Now Ophelia wants to know where she should turn
          D                                     G    D
Tell me, what did you do...what did you do the last time?
                  D
Why don't you do that?
      D                                G     D
Well, go on ahead...and take this the wrong way
D                 D
Time's not your friend
       Bm          F#m           G            A
Do you cry, do you pray, do you wish them away?
        Bm             F#m         G            A
Are you still leaving nothing but bones in the way?
        Bm        F#m                G            
Did you bury the carnival, with the lions and all?
  A                       D
Excuse me while I sharpen my nails
         D                    G         D
And just who are you, who are you this time?
     D           D                 D
You look rather tired..are you pretending to love?
                      G    D
Well, I hear that it pays well
             Bm              F#m             G            A
How do your pistol and your Bible and your sleeping pills go?
               Bm             F#m          G        A
Are you still jumping out of windows in expensive clothes?
         Bm          F#m          G        A              G       A
Well, I fell in love...with your sailor's mouth and your wounded eyes
            Bm                 F#m            G            A
You better get down on the floor...don't you know this is war
         G       A         D
Tell me, who are you this time?
         G       A         D
Tell me, who are you this time? (hi)
         G       A         D
Tell me, who are you this time?

(And just Who are you...)
