Chord/Tab song: Soldier's Things

Tom Waits
Soldier's Things


[Gm] Davenports and [Fsus4add9-(/D)]kettle drums
[Gm] and swallow tail [Fsus4add9-]coats
Gm F6add9 A9-/5- Daug D7/5+
table cloths and patent leather shoes
[Gm] bathing suits and [Fsus4add9-(/A#)]bowling balls
[Gm] and clarinets and [Am6/5+]rings
[A#] and all this rad[Cm]io really needs is a [G#]fuse[D][D7]

[Cm] a tinker, a [F]tailor
[A#7] a soldier's [Gm]things
Cm F A#7 Daug D7/5+
his rifle, his boots full of rocks
and[Gm] this one is for [Fsus4add9-]bravery
and[Gm] this one is for [A9-/5-]me
Daug D7/5+ D D7
and everything's a dollar
[Gm] in this [Fsus4add9-(/A#)]box

[Gm] [Am6/5+]
Cuff links and hub caps
trophies and paperbacks
it's good transportation
but the brakes aren't so hot
neck tie and boxing gloves
this jackknife is rusted
you can pound that dent out on the hood

a tinker, a tailor
a soldier's things
his rifle, his boots full of rocks
oh and this one is for bravery
and this one is for me
and everything's a dollar
in this box
