PONCHO'S LAMENT TOM WAITS G ( G-A-Bb notes ) Well, the stairs sound so lonely without you B7 C An' I ain't made my bed in a week D G ( G-F#-F notes ) E Coffee stains on the paper I'm writing A7 D7 And I'm too choked up inside to speak (Spoken) And yes I know that our differences pulled us apart We never spoke a word, heart to heart And I'm glad that you're gone A7 D7 G D7 But I wish to the Lord that you'd come home Chorus: G D7 G ( G-A-Bb notes ) And I'm gla-a-a-d that you're gone B7 C Got the feelin' so strong D G ( G-F#-F notes ) E And I'm glad that you're gone A7 D7 G D7 But I wish to the Lord that you'd come home Well my guitar still plays your fav-o-rite songs Tho' the strings' a bit out of tune sometimes Every time I strum a chord, I pray up to the Lord That you'll quit your Honky-Tonk and sing my song Chorus So I'll throw another log onto the fire And I'll admit I'm a lousy liar As the coals bed down and flicker, I hear that guitar picker Play the song we used to sing so long ago Chorus And I'm glad,damn glad you're gone I got the feelin' so strong And I'm glad that you're gone (slow ) C G Am7 G But I wish to the Lord..... that you'd come .....
