ALICE TOM WAITS
Capo 1st Fret
Am7 B7
It's dreamy weather we're on
Em E7
You waved your crooked wand
Am7 B7
Along an icy pond, with a frozen moon
Em Am7
A murder of silhouette crows, I saw
B7
in the tears on my face
Am7 B7 Em
And the skates on the pond, they spell "Alice"
Am7 B7 Em E7
I'll disappear in your name, but you must wait for me
Am7 B7
Somewhere across the sea there's the wreck of a ship
Em Am7
Your hair is like meadow-grass on the tide
B7
And the raindrops on my window
Am7 B7
and the ice in my drink
Am7 B7 Em
Baby, all I can think of is "Alice"
Am7 B7 Em E7
Arithmetic, arithmetock, turn the hands back on the clock
Am7 B7
How does the ocean rock the boat?
Em E7
How did the razor find my throat?
Am7 B7
The only strings that hold me here
Am7 B7
are tangled up around the pier
Am7 B7 Em E7
And so a secret kiss brings madness with the bliss
Am7 B7
and I will think of this when I'm dead in my grave
Em Am7
Set me adrift, and I'm lost over there
B7 Am7 B7
And I must be insane, to go skating on your name
Am7 B7
and by tracing it twice
Am7 B7 Em
I fell through the ice of "Alice"
Am7 B7 Em E7
Am7 B7 Em Am7
B7 Am7 B7 Am7
B7
Am7 B7 Em E7
And so a secret kiss brings madness with the bliss
Am7 B7
and I will think of this when I'm dead in my grave
Em Am7
Set me adrift, and I'm lost over there
B7 Am7 B7
And I must be insane, to go skating on your name
Am7 B7
and by tracing it twice
Am7 B7 (N.C.) Em Am7
I fell through the ice ..........of "Alice"
B7 (N.C) Em
There's only ..... "Alice"
