Текст песни Tom Waits - Diamonds And Gold

...DIAMONDS & GOLD... by Tom Waits

*from 'Rain Dogs' (1985)*

*CAPO 3rd FRET*

(Original Key: )

   (x2)

 Broken glass, rusty nails,
Where the wild violets grow.
Say good-bye to the railroad, the mad dogs of summer,
And every-thing that I know.

What some men will do here for diamonds,
What some men will do here for gold.
 They're wounded, but they just keep on climbing,
And sleep by the side of the road.

Bridge 1:

There's a hole in the ladder, a fence we can climb,
Mad as a hatter; you're thin as a dime.
Go out to the meadow; the hills are a-green,
 Sing me a rainbow, steal me a dream.

Interlude:

   (x2)

 Small-time Na-poleon's shattered his knees,
But he stays in the saddle for Rose.
And all his dis-ciples, they shave in the gutter,
And they gather what's left of his clothes.

What some men will do here for diamonds,
What some men will do here for gold.
 They're wounded, but they just keep on climbing,
And sleep by the side of the road.
