Never Let Go Chords

   
This is prety much a plagarized version of the previous tab for this song.  That guy did 
good job and it was much appreciated.

The only alteration here was that I changed a chord in the second line of each verse.  
I put it in a new key which should make it easier to play on guitar or piano while 
the vocals...just a n alternative version for untalented jerks like myself.

Never Let Go by Tom Waits


Intro: C, G, C, G, Am, F,
G, C

      C            Am            F         G
Well, ring the bell backwards and bury the axe

C                Am           G
Fall down on your knees in the dirt

C              Am           F        G
I'm tied to the mast between water and wind

C                 F        G
Believe me, you'll never get hurt

    Am            G            F            C
Our ring's in the pawnshop, the rain's in the hole

Am          G          F       G
Down at the Five Points I -------stand

C             Am
I'll lose everything

    F          G         C
But I won't let go of your hand


      C    Am         F      G
Well, Peter denied and Judas betrayed

     C            Am      G
I'll bail with the roll of the drum

        C        Am       F            G
And the wind will tell the turn from the wheel

        C          F         G
And the watchman is making his rounds

      Am              G             F        C
Well, you'll leave me hanging by the skin of my teeth

     Am        G  F    G
I've only got one leg to stand

        C         Am
You can send me to hell

      F           G         C
But I'll never let go of your hand


G                     C
Swing from a rope on a cross-legged dream
G                   C
Signed with One Eyed Jack's blood

     F                  G
From Temple to Union, to LA and Grand

F                     G
Walking back home in the mud


    C          Am             F       G
Now I must make my best of the only way home

C      Am      G
Molly deals only in stone

      C        Am          F               G
I'm lost on the midway, I'm reckless in your eyes

     C        F          G
Just give me a couple more throws

     Am          G            F           C
I'll dare you to dine with the cross-legged knight

Am         G       F       G
Dare me to jump and I   ---- will

     C             Am
I'll fall from your grace

      F           G         C
But I'll never let go of your hand

     F          G       C
I'll never let go of your hand

Now you go write some tabs, freeloader!
