  Tom Waits: I wish I was in New Orleans

  Words and Music: Tom Waits

  Album: A Japanese import -  (Sorry, I can't read Katakana,

  			     but it probably says Tom-u Waits-u)

  

  I included a line for the beat, which in most places

  is obvious, but there is one measure that has two beats

  and that threw me when I went to write it down. 

  

  Figuring out the words for this one is as challenging as

  the music. I left "----" in a few spots. Anyone speak Waits?

  

  There is one chord whose correct name somewhat eludes me.

  After checking with Paul Zimmerman's chord theory page on

  Olga, I think it is Ebdim7, which would be  Eb Gb Bbb Dbb

  or Eb Gb A C.
