Текст песни Tom Waits - Johnsburg Illinois Guitaruke

Thanks for a beautiful song Mr Waits.  He once said that it was about a guy
chatting someone up in line at the grocery store.  

p.s. guitar chords and my version for ukulele are at the end of the page
(I copied the guitar chords from the "Big Time" songbook, Jalma Music, 1988)

p.p.s. for beginners, myself included, ignore the chord mentioned after the
backslash, it means which version of the chord to use, (play whats 
comfortable for you) and enjoy y'all!

Tom Waits - Johnsburg Illinois
from Swordfishtrombones 1983

(Intro) 
slowly,  

               -9                       
She's my only   true    love    she's all that I think of

Look here, in my wallet - that's her

               -9                       
She grew up on a farm there...  there's a place on my arm where I've 

                                         A7Sus4    
Written her     name next to    mine                         ...you

See     I       just       can't live           without her

And I'm         her only        boy                          ...and

She    grew     up              outside         McHenry ...in

Johnsburg       Il-     li-     nois

(Outro)
                                    -9        -->  Dbass

(not positive, but i think -9 = B7b9,  = A13b9, etc...)
