On the CD this song is in the key of Eb. In the two recent live performances
that I have been to Tom played with a capo on the 3rd fret using C, F, G, Am,
Em forms.

CUncle Tommy GaFbriel, He Cplayed the blueG piano
CWhile Frank and Ava F Gardener danced the G wild Juaurenzi Ctango
CThose were truly F golden years my CUncle Tommy Gsaid
Cbut everything'sC/Ggone Fstraight to Hell since GSinatra played CJuarez
AmI wish life wasEm still like that Fmy Uncle Tommy CsaGid
CBut everything'sC/G gone Fstraight to Hell since GSinatra played CJuarez

You could Ctake your dolly to the Fdog track in her Gcheap chinchilla Cstole.
The Fiesta Club,F The Chinese Palace, CThe Old Kentucky BarG
CThe matadors and Fbaseball heroes andG great big movie Cstars.
