Rain dogs

Tom Waits from the album 'Rain dogs'

em
Inside a broken clock
Splashing the wine
             F
With all the rain dogs
em
Taxi, we'd rather walk
Huddle a doorway
         F
with the rain dogs
B7                  em
For I am a rain dog too

H7                       em
Oh, how we danced and we swallowed the night
H7                      em
For it was all ripe for dreaming
H7                    em
Oh how we danced away all of the light
      am           em        F#7  H7
We've always been out of our minds

em
The rum pours out strong and thin
Beats out the dustmen
         F
with the rain dogs
em
Aboard a shipwrecked train
give my umbrella
       F
to the rain dogs
H7                  em
for I am a rain dog too

H7                         em
Oh, how we danced with the rose of Tralee
H7                       em
Her long hair black as a raven
H7                        em
Oh, how we danced and you wispered to me
       am       em         F#7 H7
You'll never be going back home

On 'Rain dogs' this song is played in G-minor, but both my voice
and my guitar prefers singing it in E-minor. To transpose it back:
em  -> gm
F
-> Ab
H7  -> d7
am  -> cm
F#7 -> A7


Have fun!
