Drunk On The Moon chords by Tom Waits

Guitar chords with lyrics


but the only thing he gets right are the words. So yeah. It's not an easy tab, and I'm not even
to go near that insane solo saxophone bit. This is just the basic chord
progression driving the song.

In my opinion this sounds much better without hitting any open strings.. most of the time.

It's in 6/8 time. Or 3/4. I never get that right.

Cmaj7       Dbm7b5    Dm7    Ebdim7
Tight-slacked clad girls on the graveyard shift
      Em7  Fmaj7
'Neath the cement stroll
     E7    Am7
Catch the midnight drift
Fmaj7     F7
Cigar chewing Charlie
    Em7      A7
In that newspaper nest
     Dm7      G7
grifting hot horse tips
     Cmaj7      C7
On who's running the best

    Bm7      E7
And I'm blinded by the neon
Am      Am7/G   D7sus2/F#
Don't try and change my tune
Fmaj7           F7
'Cause I thought I heard a saxophone
  Em7     A7  D9 G9 Em7
D9 G9
I'm drunk on the moon

Cmaj7          Dbm7b5
And the moon's a silver slipper
       Dm7    Ebdim7
It's pouring champagne stars
Em7        Fmaj7
Broadway's like a serpent
    E7       Am7
Pulling shiny top-down cars
Fmaj7   F7
Laramer is teeming
     Em7    A7
With that undulating beat
     Dm7      G9
And some Bonneville is screaming
     Cmaj7      C7
It's way wilder down the street

    Bm7      E7
And I'm blinded by the neon
Am      Am7/G   D7sus2/F#
Don't try and change my tune
Fmaj7           F7
'Cause I thought I heard a saxophone
  Em7     A7  D9 G9 Em7
D9 G9
I'm drunk on the moon

Cmaj7       Dbm7b5
Hearts flutter and race
  Dm7      Ebdim7
The moon's on the wane
Em7        Fmaj7
Tarts mutter their dream hopes
  E7     Am7
The night will ordain
Fmaj7       F7
Come schemers and dancers
Em7      A7
Cherry delight
   Dm7       G9
As a Cleveland-bound Greyhound
    Cmaj7         C7
And it cuts through the night


     Bm7         E7
And I've harked all my yesterdays
Am      Am7/G   D7sus2/F#
Don't try and change my tune
Fmaj7           F7
'Cause I thought I heard a saxophone
  Em7     A7  D9 G9 Em7
D9 G9 Ab6/9
I'm drunk on the moon
