LITTLE DROP OF POISON TOM WAITS
Capo 3rd Fret
Am Am-E-Am (x4)
(NC) Am
I like my town
Dm
With a little drop of poison
E
Nobody knows
Am Am-E-Am ( N.C.)
They're linin' up to go insane
Chorus:
Am
I'm all alone Dm
I smoke my friends down to the filter
E
But I feel much cleaner
Am Am-E-Am (N.C.)
After it rains
Am
And she left in the fall
That's her picture on the wall
Dm E Am Am-E-Am (N.C.)
She always had that little drop of poison
Did the Devil
Make the World
While God was sleeping
You'll never get a wish from a bone
Another long goodbye
And a hundred sailors
That deep blue sky
Is my home
Chorus
Bbm
Bbm
Well a rat
Always knows
Ebm
When he's in with weasels
F Bbm
Here you lose a little everyday
Bbm
Well I remember
Ebm
When a million was a million
F Bbm
They all have ways to make you pay
Chorus: (x2)
Bbm
And she left in the fall
That's her picture on the wall
Ebm F Bbm Bbm-F-Bbm (N.C.)
She always had that little drop of poison
