Reeperbahn Chords by Tom Waits

[Fm] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ [Fm] _ [Gm] _
_ [Fm] _ [G] _ _ [C] _ _ [Fm] Around the curve of the parrot bar _ _ [C]
Broken down old [Bb] movie [Fm] star _ _ _
Hustling in eastern air _ [C] Ringing out the beast [Fm] in her
_ _ [Bbm]
I dive on a [Fm] swimming [C] pool [Fm] _ [C]
Filled with needles [Fm] and with fools
The memories are short but the tales are long _ [C]
When you're in [Fm] a reaper bun _
_ _ _ _ _ [Cm] _ [Fm] _ _
_ [Cm] _ [Fm] _ _ Well they called her Roses when she was a girl
[C] Bright red cheeks and her [Fm] strawberry curls When she would laugh the river would run
[C] Said she'd [Fm] be a comedian _ Oh [Bb] what a pity, [Fm] oh what a shame
She said, [C] come calling, [Fm] nobody came Her bright red cheeks are painted on
And [C] she's laughing her head off in the _ _ [Fm] reaper bun
_ _ [G] _ [Fm] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Now little Harlan was always strange _ [C]
Luring women [Fm] under things
His father beat him but he wouldn't change _ [C]
Ran off with a [Fm] man one day
[Eb]
[G] Now his _ [Fm] laundry's all the rage [C] In the black [Fm] on every page
And his father proudly calls his name [C] Now he'll never be in the _ _ _ _ reaper [Fm] bun _ _ _ _ _
_ [Ab] _ _ [Fm] _ _ Now _ if you've lost your _ inheritance [C]
And all you've [Db] left [Fm] is common sense
And you're not too picky about the crowd you keep
_ [C]
Or the mattress [Fm] where you sleep
_ [Bbm]
Hide every window [Fm] behind every door [C] The apple is [Fm] gone but there's always decor
And the seeds will sprout up right to the floor
[C] Down there in the _ _ _ _ [Fm] reaper bun _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
