• Song:

    Dead And Lovely

  • Artist:

    Tom Waits

    Another favourite Waits tune, hope it makes sense,
    it looks a bit complicated with the walkup on the A & D
    strings, and plays fine without a capo, but if you are
    playing along with the song stick the capo on 3, 
    I pick for most of the song, but pick + strum the
    Dm Bb Dm Bb Am F B7 E bits, see what works for you.
    As always, any mistakes are mine, if I have missed some
    obvious ones drop me a note and I'll sort it.
                 if you like it     rate it,
                         thanks - flatwound -
