...UNION SQUARE... by Tom Waits

from 'Rain Dogs' (1985)

Verse 1:

Well, [B7]time is always money,
For the [E7]boys on Union Square.
Go on and [B7]bust your ass 'till doomsday,
Don't for-[E7]get to say your prayers.

[B7] Someone's riding down the backstreet,
Said [E7]papa got a brand new slack.
And your [B7]baby is handcuffed on the front seat,
Sit right [E7]there, boy and you re-[F#7]lax. C'mon, honey...

Chorus 1:

We're all going [B7]down, down, down, down-[F#7]town,
We're going [B7]down, down-[E7]town,
We're going [B7]down, [F#7]down-[B7]town.

Verse 2:

Well, you [B7]spill out of the Cinema Fourteen,
To that [E7]drag bar, there on the block.
[B7] Whizzin' on down in front of the East Coast,
[E7] Bank rolled up on your sock.

She [B7]stand right there, for your pleasure,
[E7] Half Puerto Rican Chinese.
You got to [B7]find your baby somebody to measure,
I'm going to [E7]get me some of [F#7]these, baby.
C'mon honey, do you hear what I'm doing now?

Chorus 2:

We're all going [B7]down, down, down, down-[F#7]town,
We're going [B7]down, down-[E7]town,
We're going [B7]down, [F#7]down-[B7]town.

Verse 3:

'Bout [B7]four in the morning on a Sunday,
[E7] Sacco drinking whiskey in church.
[B7] Half pint of festival brandy,
That [E7]boy 'bout to fall right off his perch.

[B7] Well, that guy in the sweater's off duty,
[E7] Well, he's out in front of that Welfare hotel.
The [B7]guy in the dress is a beauty;
Go all the [E7]way, I swear you never can [F#7]tell.
C'mon honey and pull up your socks.

Chorus 3:

We're all going [B7]down, down, down, down-[F#7]town,
We're going [B7]down, down-[E7]town,
We're going [B7]down, [F#7]down-[B7]town.

Solo:

B7 F#7 B7,
E7 B7, F#7 B7

Chorus 4:

We're all going [B7]down, down, down, down-[F#7]town,
We're going [B7]down, down-[E7]town,
We're going [B7]down, [F#7]down-[B7]town.
