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!
