Tom Waits Dead and Lovely Lyrics

Another favourite Waits tune, hope it makes sense,
it looks a bit complicated with the walkup on the A & D
strings, and plays fine without a capo, but if you are
playing along with the song stick the capo on 3,
I pick for most of the song, but pick + strum the
Dm Bb Dm Bb Am F B7 E bits, see what works for you.
As always, any mistakes are mine, if I have missed some
obvious ones drop me a note and I'll sort it.
if you like it rate it,
thanks - flatwound -
All chords relative to Capo
DEAD AND LOVELY
She was a middle class girl, She was in over her head A|-2-3--
She thought she could stand up in the deep end
He had a bulletproof smile, He had money to burn A|-2-3--
She thought she, Had the moon, In her pocket
And now she's dead,.. She's so dead, Forever dead and lovely now
I've, always been told to, re-member this
Don't let a, fool kiss you, Never marry for love
N.C. Am Am D|-----0-
He was hard to impress, He knew everyone's secrets A|-2-3---
He wore her, On his arm just like jewlery
He never gave but he got, He kept her on a leash A|-2-3---
He's not the kind of wheel you fall a-sleep at
But now she's dead, Forever dead, Forever dead and lovely now
Come closer, Look deeper, You're falling fast
Just like a, Plane on a, Stormy sea
N.C. Am Am D|-----0-
She made up someone to be, She made up somewhere to be from A|-2-3---
This is one business in the world, Where theres no problem with that
Everything that is left, They will only plow under A|-2-3---
Soon everyone you knew, Will be gone
And now she's dead, Forever dead, Forever dead and lovely now
GUITAR SOLO: Am Am Am Am F
But now she's dead, Forever dead, Forever dead and lovely now
I've, always been told to re-member this,
Don't let a kiss fool ya, Never marry for love
N.C. Am Am Am D|-----0-
Everything has it's price, Everything has it's place A|-2-3---
Whats more romantic than dyin' in the moonlight
Now they are watching the sea, Whats lost can never be broken A|-2-3---
Her roots were sweet, But they were so shallow
And now she's dead, Forever dead, Forever dead and lovely now
N.C. Am F Am F Am F E Am
And now she's dead, Forever dead, And she's so dead and lovely now
