Tom Waits — A Good Man Is Hard To Find Chords

  Rate this tab:
I love this song. It's fairly simple. The most obvious way to play it is by putting a
on the 1st fret and playing D, A, A7, D, D, D7, Em, E, E7, etc. But I lost my capo.. so 
the barre version.

It also has a wonderful dooo—dooo—dooo doodoodoo thing going on between verses and in 
beginning.. as in:

E|——————6—————6—————6————————|
B|——————8—————8—————8————————|
G|——————8—————8—————8————————|
D|———————————————————————————|
A|———6—————5———————————————5—|
E|———————————————8—————6—8———|

Verse 1
  D#                  Bb
I always play Russian Roulette in my head
Bb7                 D#
Seventeen black and twenty—nine red
    D#           D#7
How far from the gutter
                 Fm
How far from the pew
     F        F7           Bb        Bb7
I'll always remember to forget about you

Chorus
D#                      C
A good man is hard to find
     Fm                    Bb
Only strangers sleep in my bed
   D#                      C7
My favorite words are good—bye
       Fm       Bb       D#
And my favorite color is red

Verse 2
A long dead soldier looks out
From the frame
No one remembers his war; no one
Remembers his name

Verse 3
Go out to the meadow;
Scare off all the crows
It does nothing but rain here,
And nothing will grow

Chorus
A good man is hard to find
Only strangers sleep in my bed
My favorite words are good—bye
And my favorite color is
Fm                Bb
my favorite color is
Fm          Bb       D#
my favorite color is red
