Low Down

Tom Waits


Tom: B

B                            F#
She's a crooked Sheriff in a real straight town
She opened the door shake shake the lights go down
B                           
Clover honey and the Jimson Weed
 E
Red leather skirt way up above her knees
B        E      F#
Oh yeah, my baby's lowdown

She's a gone lost dirt road
There ain't no way back I been told
Well she's a story they all tell
She's a rebel, she's a yell
Oh yeah, my baby's lowdown
E7
White heat in a cold rain
   B
I'm a mergin here in your mergin lane
     E                  
Jockey La Fayette, Big Eyed Al
      F#
The second hand moon's shining for my gal

She's a big red flag in a mean bullpen
She'll steal it from you, sell right
Back to you again
Well she's a whild rose, she's not settled
Cold gun of ice blue metal, oh
My baby's lowdown

White heat in a cold rain
I'm a mergin here in your mergin lane
Jockey la Fayette, Big Eyed Al

She's a cheap motel with a burned out sign
She'll take care of you definitely every time
She got a stolen check book and leg's upto here
Singing into a hairbrush
Right in front of the mirror
Oh yeah, my baby's lowdown
