COLD WATER TOM WAITS
(I)
A
Well I woke up this morning with the cold water
E A
With the cold water, with the cold water
A
Well I woke up this morning with the cold water
E A
With the cold water, with the cold
(I)
Police at the station and they dont' look friendly
They dont' look friendly no they dont' look friendly
Police at the station and they dont' look friendly
They dont' look friendly no they dont
(II)

Blind or crippled, Sharp or dull
A
I'm reading the Bible by a 40 watt bulb
D
What price freedom? Dirt is my rug
A (NC)
Well I sleep like a baby with the snakes & the bugs
(I)
Well the stores are open but I ain't got no money
I ain't got no money, I ain't got no money
Well the stores are open but I ain't got no money
I ain't got no money, well I ain't
(I)
Found an old dog & he seems to like me
Seems to like me, well he seems to like me
Found an old dog & he seems to like me
Seems to like me, well he seems
(II)
See them fellows with the cardboard signs
Scrapin' up a little money to buy a bottle of wine
Pregnant women & the Vietnam vets I say
Beggin' on the freeway 'bout as hard as it gets
(I)
Well I slept in the graveyard it was cold and still
Cold and still, it was cold and still
Well I slept in the graveyard it was cold and still
Cold and still, and it was cold
(II)
Slept all night in the Cedar Grove
I was born to ramble, born to rove
Some men are searchin' for the Holy Grail
But there aint nothin' sweeter than ridin' the rails
(Solo)
(II)
I look 47 but I'm 24
Well they shooed me away from here the time before
Turned their backs and they locked their doors
I'm watching TV in the window of a furniture store
(I)
Well I woke up this morning with the cold water
With the cold water, with the cold water
Well I woke up this morning with the cold water
With the cold water, with the cold
