Tom Waits - Never Let Go Chords & Tabs

I got really tired of seeing people over-complicate this song. Buy a capo people, they're useful.

Never Let Go by Tom Waits
Capo at 3


Intro: C, G, C, G, Am, F, 
G, C

      C             Am            F         G
Well, ring the bell backwards and bury the axe

C                 F            G
Fall down on your knees in the dirt

C               Am           F         G
I'm tied to the mast between water and wind

C                  F        G
Believe me, you'll never get hurt

    Am            G             F             C
Our ring's in the pawnshop, the rain's in the hole

Am          G           F        G
Down at the Five Points I -------stand

C              Am
I'll lose everything

    F           G          C
But I won't let go of your hand


      C     Am         F       G
Well, Peter denied and Judas betrayed

     C             F       G
I'll bail with the roll of the drum

        C         Am       F             G
And the wind will tell the turn from the wheel

        C           F          G
And the watchman is making his rounds

      Am              G              F          C
Well, you'll leave me hanging by the skin of my teeth

     Am        G   F     G
I've only got one leg to stand

        C          Am
You can send me to hell

      F            G          C
But I'll never let go of your hand


G                      C
Swing from a rope on a cross-legged dream
G                    C
Signed with One Eyed Jack's blood

     F                   G
From Temple to Union, to LA and Grand

F                      G
Walking back home in the mud


    C           Am             F        G
Now I must make my best of the only way home

C       F       G
Molly deals only in stone

      C         Am          F                G
I'm lost on the midway, I'm reckless in your eyes

     C         F           G
Just give me a couple more throws

     Am          G             F            C
I'll dare you to dine with the cross-legged knight

Am         G        F        G
Dare me to jump and I   ---- will

     C              Am
I'll fall from your grace

      F            G          C
But I'll never let go of your hand

     F           G        C
I'll never let go of your hand
