Hoist That Rag Chords

   
Great song by Tom Waits from the album "Real Gone." Key of Am, standard tuning. 

Guitar solo not included this time, sorry! I just wanted to correct a lot of 
simplified interpretations of the harmonies that don't do the real song justice.

Intro:

Am, Dm, E7, Am, F, Dm, F7, E7

Verse 1:

Well I learned the trade from Piggy Noles,
           Am               Dm           E7          Am
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/t/tom_waits/hoist_that_rag_crd.html ]
and Sing Sing Tommy Shay, boys.
        F              Dm        F7      E7

God used me as a hammer, boys,
Am                  Dm  E7             Am

To beat his weary drum today.
      F           Dm     F7            E7

Chorus:

Hoist that rag.
                  Am        Dm      E7        Am

Hoist that rag.
                   Am       Dm      E7        Am

The entire song repeats this verse/chorus cycle, so that's it!
