Fannin Street

FANNIN STREET (Tom Waits) [tab by: AL #13]

capo on 3rd fret

intro: A

There's a crooked street in Houston town

It's a well long path I've traveled down

D E A* (Asus4) F#m

Now there's ruin in my name, I wish I never got off the train

I wished I'd listened to the words you said

Don't go down...to Fannin Street

Don't go down...to Fannin Street

D A* (Asus4) F#m

Don't go down...to Fannin Street...oh yeah

You'll be lost and never found

You can never turn around

Don't go down...to Fannin Street

Once I held you in my arms, I was sure

And I took that silent step through the gilded door

D E A* (Asus4) F#m

The desire to have much more, all the glitter and the roar

Now I know just where the sidewalk ends

Don't go down...to Fannin Street

Don't go down...to Fannin Street

D A* (Asus4) F#m

Don't go down...to Fannin Street...oh yeah

You'll be lost and never found

You can never turn around

Don't go down...to Fannin Street

When I was young I thought only of getting out

I said goodbye to my street, goodbye to my house

D E A* (Asus4) F#m

Give a man gin, give a man cards, give an inch he takes a yard

And I rue the day that I stepped off this train

Don't go down...to Fannin Street

Don't go down...to Fannin Street

D A* (Asus4) F#m

Don't go down...to Fannin Street...oh yeah

You'll be lost and never found

You can never turn around

Don't go down...to Fannin Street

Don't go down...to Fannin Street

Don't go down...to Fannin Street

D A* (Asus4) F#m

Don't go down...to Fannin Street...oh yeah

Cause you'll be lost and never found

You can never turn around

Don't go down...to Fannin Street

Don't go down...to Fannin Street

Don't go down...to Fannin Street.
