RAIN DOGS TOM WAITS
( Capo 3rd Fret )
Em
Inside a broken clock
Splashing the wine
F
With all the rain dogs
Em
Taxi, we'd rather walk
Huddle a doorway
F B7
with the rain dogs
G F# Em
For I am a rain dog too
B7 Em
Oh, how we danced and we swallowed the night
B7 Em
For it was all ripe for dreaming
B7 Em
Oh how we danced away all of the lights
C B7(Em) F# B7
We've always been out of our minds
The rum pours strong and thin
Beat out the dustman
with the rain dogs
Aboard a shipwrecked train
give my umbrella
to the rain dogs
for I am a rain dog too
Oh, how we danced with the rose of Tralee
Her long hair black as a raven
Oh, how we danced and you whispered to me
You'll never be going back home
Oh, how we danced with the rose of Tralee
Her long hair black as a raven
Oh, how we danced and you whispered to me
You'll never be going back home
