Alice Chords by Tom Waits

[Fm] _ _ It's [Bbm] dreamy weather _ [Ab] we're on [C] you [Fm] waved your crooked [F] wand
_ _ [Bbm] Along an icy pond _
With the [C] frozen moon _ _ _
Murder [Fm] of silhouette
_ [Bbm] crows I saw
And the [C] tears on my [Db] face
[C] _ _ [Bbm] And the skates on the pond
[C] They _ spell [Fm] Alice _
_ _ _ _ _ [Bbm] _ _
Disappear in your [Ab] name
_ But [Fm] you must wait for me
[Db] _ [Ab] [Bb] Somewhere [Bbm] across the sea
_ _ There's the [Dbm] wreck of a ship _ _
_ [C] _ Your hair [Fm] is like meadow grass
[Bbm] on the tide
_ And the raindrops [C] on my window
[Bb] _ In the ice [Db] in my dream
_ [Bbm] _ [C] _ _ Baby all [Bbm] I can think of [C] is _ [Cm] _ _
[Fm] Alice
_ _ _ Arithmetic _
[Db] _ _ _ _ [C] _ arithmetic
[Fm] Turn _ the hands back on the clock
[Bbm] How does the [C] ocean rock [Cm] the boat [Fm] how did the razor [F] find [Fm] my throat
[Bbm] _ The only [C] strings that hold me [Bbm] here are [Db] tangled around [E] the pier
[Eb] _ [C] _ _ _ And so [Bbm] a secret [Ab] kiss
_ [C] _ Brings [Gm] madness [Fm] with the bliss _ _ [Cm] _ _
[Db] and I will think of this
_ When I'm [C] dead in my _ _ grave
Set me [Fm] adrift and I'm _ [Bbm] lost
[Bb] Over [Bbm] there and I [C] must be insane
[Ab]
[C] You _ go [Bbm] skating on your name
[C] _ _ And by [Db] tracing it twice _
[E] _ _ I [Db] fell through the _ [E] eyes
_ [C] _ [Fm] Of Alice _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Bbm] _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [Fm] _ _
[Db] _ [Fm] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bbm] _
_ _ _ _ [Fm] _ [Eb] _ _ [Bb] _
[Ab] _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ [Fm] _ _
_ _ _ [Bbm] _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ [Db] _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ And so [Db] a secret kiss
_ [C] _ Brings madness [Fm] with the [Ab] bliss [Db] _ [F] _ _ [Ab] _ _
[Bbm] _ and I will think of this when I'm dead [C] in my _ grave
Set me [Fm] adrift and I'm [Bbm] lost
_ Over there and I must be [E] insane
You _ _
[C] go skating [Db] on your name
[Ab] _
[C] _ And by [Bbm] tracing it twice _
[C] _ _ I [Bbm] fell [Fm] through the [Bbm] eyes [C] _ _ _ [E] _ _ Of _ _ [Fm] Alice
[Bbm] _ _ _ _
[E] There's [C] only _ _ _ _ _ [Fm] Alice _ _ _ _ _
_ _ You _ _ _ _
