COLD COLD GROUND
 
     Tom Waits from the album Franks Wild Years
 
 
C                      Am
Crest fallen sidekick in an old cafe
      C                           Am
never slept with a dream before he had to go away
         C                      Am
there's a bell in the tower uncle Ray bought a round
  F
never worry 'bout the army
G7          G7sus4 C
in the cold cold ground
                 Am
       cold cold ground
                 C
       cold cold ground
                 Am
       cold cold ground
 
 
Now don't be a cry baby when there's wood in the shed
there's a bird in the chimeny and a stone in my bed
when the road's washed out they pass a bottle around
and waits in the arms
of the cold cold . . .
 
there's a ribbon in the willow and a tire swing rope
and a briar patch of berries takin' over the slope
the cat'll sleep in the mailbox and we'll never go to town
till we bury every dream
in the cold cold . . .
 
Gimme a Winchester rifle and a whole box of shells
blow the roof of the goat barn let it roll down the hill
the piano is firewood Times Square is a dream
I find we lay down together
in the cold cold . .
 
Call the cops on the Breadloves bring a bible and a rope
and a whole box of rebel and a bar of soap
make a pile of trunk tires
and burn 'em all down bring a dollar with you baby
in the cold cold . . .
 
Take a weather vane rooster throw rocks at his head
stop talking to the neighbors till we all go dead
beware of my temper and the dog that I found
break all the windows
in the cold cold . . .
 
 
On the D's during the cold cold ground theme, do some "touchdowns" on Dsus4

Sound alright to me. Progression block-simple enough for repetitive vocalizing the man. Snap.
