Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Inside  a broken clock
 Splashing the wine
 With all the rain  dogs
Taxi,  we'd rather walk
 Huddle a doorway
 with the rain  dogs
 For I am a rain dog too
Oh,  how we danced and we swallowed  the night
For  it was all ripe for dreaming
Oh  how we danced away all  of the lights
 We've always  been out  of our minds
 The rum pours strong and thin
 Beat out the dustmen
 with the rain dogs
 Aboard a shipwrecked train
 give my umbrella
 to the rain dogs
 for I am a rain dog too
 Oh, how we danced with the rose of Tralee
 Her long hair black as a raven
 Oh, how we danced and you wispered to me
 You'll never be going back home
(electric clean low end pickup w/ room reverb guitar lead)
Inside a broken clock...

Readable chord sheet for Rain Dogs by Tom Waits

[F#m]Inside a broken clock

Splashing the wine
With all the [G]rain dogs
[F#m]Taxi, we'd rather walk

Huddle a doorway
with the [G]rain dogs   [C#]
For I am a [A]rain [Ab]dog [F#m]too

[C#]Oh, how we danced and we [F#m]swallowed the night
[C#]For it was all ripe for [F#m]dreaming
[C#]Oh how we danced away [F#m]all of the lights
We've [D]always been [C#]out of our [Ab]minds    [C#]

The rum pours strong and thin
Beat out the dustmen
with the rain dogs
Aboard a shipwrecked train
give my umbrella
to the rain dogs
for I am a rain dog too

Oh, how we danced with the rose of Tralee
Her long hair black as a raven
Oh, how we danced and you wispered to me
You'll never be going back home
