flatbaroque Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Could only be a Tom Waits cover.Full of pathos..I think is the word. Forgot about this song and only stumbled on it recently when I did another TW cover. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJwvKmAfKR4&feature=youtu.be Have a good weekend everyone.Beautiful sunny winter's day in Sydney.Off to Yum Cha for lunch.

duluthdan Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Ha What an interesting song. "Someone sold my record player, how do you like that?" What an interesting mind that guy has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MissouriPicker Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Excellent, FB. You do this very well, my friend. You've got the atmosphere and feel of a Tom Waits song in your own style. Waits has a way of writing that brings his topic to life and you're interpretation of this song succeeded in doing the same thing. Waits is cool, and so are you. Truly enjoyed it.

Blue_Notes Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Great job! This has to be one of my favourite songs ever, especially good when I've had a few too many scotches for some reason... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flatbaroque Posted July 30, 2016 Author Share Posted July 30, 2016 Hey everyone.Thanks for those supportive comments.It's a good song.I was happy to find that someone had worked it out and the "jazz" chords were not too hard.I really like singing it. 62B I record in 3 rooms in the house.That was in the"Sunroom"..Australian vernacular for a closed in verandah in an old house.I also record in the kitchen and lounge room.Recordings are a little different depending on the room. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flatbaroque Posted July 31, 2016 Author Share Posted July 31, 2016 You wouldnt happen to have tab you can share for the song would you? Sure Blue Notes, used this one mainly http://ezstrummer.com/samples/Christmas-Card-Tom-Waits.pdf And welcome to the forum. edit...I'd ignore the finger numbers they show on the chords..a couple of those maybe aren't the best fingers to use.Chords are good just not the fingers they suggest fretting with.Like the T they show on the A#9.I assume they mean thumb, I think this is easier with index and middle finger- for me anyway.
