Poncho's Lament Chords by Tom Waits

[Verse]
         Ab              Eb     Ab         
Well the stairs sound so lonely without you
C7                              Db  
■  And I ain't made my bed in a week
                     Eb7   Ab  F      
Coffee stains on the paper I'm writing
        Bb            Eb             
And I'm too choked up inside to speak
Ab                Eb  Ab                         
■  And Yes I know our differences pulled us apart
C7                          Db      
■  Never spoke a word heart to heart
             Eb7         Ab7  Ab F
And I'm glad that you're gone ■  ■
      Bb               Eb              Ab   Eb
But I wish to the lord that you'd come home ■ 
        Ab   Eb              
And I'm glad that you're gone


[Chorus]
C7         C       C7 Db    
■  Got the feeling so strong
             Eb          Ab   F
And I'm glad that you're gone ■
      Bb               Eb              Ab  
But I wish to the lord that you'd come home


[Verse]
Eb         Ab           Eb         Ab           
■  Well my guitar still plays your favorite song
C7                                         Db           
■  Though the strings have been outta tune for some time
                          Eb   Ab              F   
Every time I strum a cord ■  I pray out to the lord
                 Bb   Eb            Ab          
That you'll quit your honkeytonkin' sing my song
Eb         Ab        Eb     Ab  
■  And I'm glad that you're gone


[Chorus]
C7                 Db       
■  Got the feeling so strong
                  Eb7    Ab   F
And I'm glad that you're gone ■
           Bb Eb                  Ab   Eb  
But I wish to the lord that you'd come home


[Verse]
Ab                           Eb       Ab  
■  So I'll throw another log onto the fire
C7                                 Db
■  And I'll admit I'm a lousy liar ■ 
                          Eb7    
As the coals die down and flicker
Ab                 F     
I hear that guitar picker
         Bb   Eb                      Ab 
Play the song we used to sing so long ago
Eb Ab  Eb               Ab  
■  I'm glad that you're gone


[Chorus]
C7                    Db    
■  Got the feeling so strong
        Eb7              Ab   F
And I'm glad that you're gone ■
      Bb   Eb                          Ab  
But I wish to the lord that you'd come home
Eb      Ab   Eb               Ab  
And I'm glad damn glad you're gone
C7                    Db    
■  Got the feeling so strong
        Eb7              F7   F F7
And I'm glad that you're gone ■ ■ 


[Outro]
Bb                     Eb7                  Ab
But I wish to the lord that you'd come home ■
