Great song by Tom Waits from the album "Real Gone." Key of , 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. , , , , , , , Well I learned the trade from Piggy Noles, and Sing Sing Tommy Shay, boys. God used me as a hammer, boys, To beat his weary drum today. Hoist that rag. Hoist that rag. The entire song repeats this verse/chorus cycle, so that's it!
