Текст песни Tom Waits - Poor Edward

Poor Edward by Tom Waits
Transcribed by Johan Jeppsson

Standard tuning
Capo on 1st fret

Tom sings this ridicously low. If you want to transpose it, you could use this table:

Did you hear the news about Edward?

On the back of his head 
he had another face
Was it a woman's face 
or a young girl?

They said to remove it would kill him
So poor Edward was doomed

That face could laugh and cry
It was his devil twin
At night she spoke to him
Things heard only in hell

They were impossible to separate
Chained together for life

Finally the bell tolled his doom
He took a suite of rooms
And hung himself and her 
from the balcony irons

Some still believe he was freed from her
But I knew her too well
I say she drove him to suicide
And took poor Edward to hell 

(It's nice to disolve the dominant () with the tonic () here at the end)
