Rain Dogs by Tom Waits - Guitar Chords

<< Back to Tom Waits Song List

Version 1 Version 2

            [Verse 1]
F#m
Inside a broken clock
F#m 
Splashing the wine 
             G
With all the rain dogs
F#m
Taxi, we'd rather walk
F#m
Huddle a doorway 
         G
with the rain dogs
C#                  F#m
for I am a rain dog too

[Chorus]
C#                       F#m
Oh, how we danced and we swallowed the night
C#                      F#m
For it was all ripe for dreaming
C#                    F#m
Oh how we danced away all of the lights
      Bm          F#m        G#    C#
We've always been out of our minds

[Verse 2]
F#m
The rum pours strong and thin
F#m
Beat out the dustmen
         G
with the rain dogs
F#m
Aboard a shipwrecked train
F#m
give my umbrella
       G
to the rain dogs
C#                  F#m
for I am a rain dog too

[Chorus]
C#                         F#m
Oh, how we danced with the rose of Tralee
C#                       F#m
Her long hair black as a raven
C#                        F#m
Oh, how we danced and you wispered to me
       Bm       F#m        G#   C#
You'll never be going back home

[Outro/Fading out]
C#                         F#m
Oh, how we danced with the rose of Tralee
C#                       F#m
Her long hair black as a raven
C#                        F#m
Oh, how we danced and you wispered to me
       Bm       F#m        G#   C#
You'll never be going back home
