  Warm Beer and Cold Women--Tom Waits

  from Nighthawks at the Diner

  the song is in 3/4 time

  

  Intro:  Ebmaj9  |  Cm7  |  F9  |  Bb  | single notes Bb-C-D

  

  VERSE 1:

  Ebmaj9             Cm7    F9

  Warm beer and cold women, I just don't fit in

  Bb

  Every Joint I stumbled into tonight

  Eb                         s.n. Bb-C-D  

  That's just how it's been.

            Eb          Cm7

  All these double knit strangers with

  F9                Bb

  Gin and vermouth, and recycled stories

         Eb                s.n. Eb-F-G

  In the naugahyde booths.

           Ab       Bb       Emaj9       Cm7     

  With the platinum blondes, and tobacco brunettes,

  F9

  I'll be drinkin to forget you,

  Bb        Eb                 s.n. Eb-F-G  

  I'll lite another cigarette.

          Ab             Bb          Emaj9  Cm7 

  And the band's playin' something by Tammy Wynette,

  F9                    Bb   Eb     s.n. Bb-C-D   

  And the drinks are on me tonight.

  

  VERSE 2:

  

  All my conversations I'll just be talkin' about you baby

  Borin' some sailor as I try to get through.

  I just want him to listen, that's all you have to do,

  He said I'm better off without you,

  Till I showed him my tattoo

  Now the moon's rising, ain't no time to lose,

  Time to get down to drinking,

  Tell the band to play the blues.

  And the drinks are on me, I'll buy another round,

  At the last ditch attempt saloon.

  

  SAX SOLO (over the chords of an entire verse)

  

  VERSE 3:  Same as verse 1, except for the following lines.

  ..."receding hairlines" (instead of recycled stories)

  ..."I lite a menthol cigarette

      And the band's playin' something by Johnny Barnett

      At the last ditch attempt saloon"  

  

  NOTES:

  On the single notes I usually play thirds to give it a better

  sound.  For instance, play the Bb-C-D with the left hand on the

  piano, and then an octave higher with the right hand play D-Eb-F.

  The same can be done for the notes leading to the Ab chord.  Also,

  it seems as if he is riding on a G note a lot, so a Bb(add 6th)

  could be played in place of the Bb chord.
