Текст песни Tom Waits - Dead Lovely

Dead Lovely
Tom Waits
This song has a capo on the third fret. In order to keep things easy, I will name the
as if the capo is the nut of the neck. ex)what is considered c minor will now be called 
minor.

There are a few things to remember for playing this song.

First)There is an alternating bass line between the root of a chord and the string above
ex)for a c chord alternate the lowest c note with a g.

Second)There is a walkdown at the end of the intro and chorus that starts with a c add
and walks the c note down to a b then the chord changes to an a minor. The catch is the
c add nine isn't played the usual way. You don't add your fourth finger to any string 
instead take off the finger you have on the d string. Making the walkdown look like this

  (walkdown) 

She was a middle class girl

She was in over her head
She thought she would
Stand up in the deep end

He had a bullet proof smile

He had money to burn
She thought she had the moon
In her pocket
But now she's dead
She's so dead
                 (walkdown) 
Forever dead and lovely now
I've always been told to
Remember this...
Don't let a fool kiss you
Never marry for love
He was hard to impress
He knew everyone's secrets
He wore her on his arm

Just like jewelry

He never gave but he got
He kept her on a leash

He's not the kind of wheel
You fall asleep at
But now she's dead
Forever dead
             (Walkdown) 
Forever dead and lovely now
Come closer, look deeper
You've fallen fast
Just like a plane on a
Stormy sea
She made up someone to be
She made up somewhere to be from

This is one business in the
World where that's no

Problem at all

Everything that is left
They will only plow under

Soon every one you know
Will be gone
And now she's dead
Forever dead
                 (walkdown)
Forever dead and lovely now

Now she's dead
Forever dead
                 (walkdown)
Forever dead and lovely now
I've always been told to
Remember this...
Don't let a kiss fool you
Never marry for love
Everything has its price
Everything has its place

What's more romantic
Then dying in the moonlight?

Now they're all watching the sea
What's lost can never be broken

Her roots were sweet
But they were so shallow
And now she's dead
Forever dead
                 (walkdown) 
Forever dead and lovely now
And now she's dead
Forever dead
                      (Walkdown) 
And she's so dead and lovely now
