Dead Lovely chords by Tom Waits

as if the capo is the nut of the neck. ex)what is considered c minor will now be called
minor.

There are a few things to remember for playing this song.

First)There is an alternating bass line between the root of a chord and the string above
ex)for a c chord alternate the lowest c note with a g.

Second)There is a walkdown at the end of the intro and chorus that starts with a c add
and walks the c note down to a b then the chord changes to an a minor. The catch is the
c add nine isn't played the usual way. You don't add your fourth finger to any string
instead take off the finger you have on the d string. Making the walkdown look like this

e-0--0--0----------------------|

g-0--0--2----------------------|
d-0--0--2----------------------|
a-3--2--0----------------------|

Amin

Amin
She was a middle class girl

She was in over her head
Dmin
She thought she would
        Amin
Stand up in the deep end

He had a bullet proof smile

He had money to burn
Dmin
She thought she had the moon
Amin
In her pocket
          Fmaj
But now she's dead
     Fmaj
She's so dead
         Amin
Forever dead and lovely now
Dmin
I've always been told to
     Bmaj
Remember this...
B7sus4
Don't let a fool kiss you
        Emaj
Never marry for love
         Amin
He was hard to impress
              Dmin
He knew everyone's secrets
            Amin
He wore her on his arm

Just like jewelry

He never gave but he got
            Dmin
He kept her on a leash

He's not the kind of wheel
  Amin
You fall asleep at
          Fmaj
But now she's dead
    Fmaj
Forever dead
    Amin
Forever dead and lovely now
Dmin
Come closer, look deeper
       Bmaj
You've fallen fast
Fmaj
Just like a plane on a
Emaj
Stormy sea
            Amin
She made up someone to be
                 Dmin
She made up somewhere to be from

This is one business in the
          Amin
World where that's no

Problem at all

Everything that is left
             Dmin
They will only plow under

Soon every one you know
    Amin
Will be gone
          Fmaj
And now she's dead
    Amin
Forever dead
         Cadd9(walkdown)
Forever dead and lovely now

Dmin

        Fmaj
Now she's dead
    Amin
Forever dead
         Amin
Forever dead and lovely now
Dmin
I've always been told to
     Bmaj
Remember this...
B7sus4
Don't let a kiss fool you
        Emaj
Never marry for love
          Amin
Everything has its price
             Dmin
Everything has its place

What's more romantic
           Amin
Then dying in the moonlight?

Now they're all watching the sea
                Dmin
What's lost can never be broken

Her roots were sweet
         Amin
But they were so shallow
         Fmaj
And now she's dead
    Amin
Forever dead
         Amin
Forever dead and lovely now
          Fmaj
And now she's dead
    Amin
Forever dead
           Amin
And she's so dead and lovely now
