Version 1 Version 2 Version 3Tango Till They're Sore Tom Waits From Raindogs (1985) [Intro] Em Am B7 Em [Verse 1] Well ya play that tarantella Am All the hounds will start to roll B7 The boys all go ta hell Em And then the Cubans hit the floor And they drive along the pipeline Am They tango 'till they're sore B7 They take apart their nightmares Em And they leave 'em by the door [Chorus] Am Let me fall out of the window B7 With confetti in my hair Em Deal out Jacks or better Am On a blanket by the stairs B7 I’ll tell you all my secrets Em But I lie about my past Am B7 Em So send me off to bed for ever more [Verse 2] Make sure they play my theme song Am I guess daisies will have to do B7 Just get me to New Orleans Em And paint shadows on the pews Turn the spit on that pig Am And kick the drum and let me down B7 Put my clarinet beneath my bed Em Till I get back in town [Chorus] Am Let me fall out of the window B7 With confetti in my hair Em Deal out Jacks or better Am On a blanket by the stairs B7 I’ll tell you all my secrets Em But I lie about my past Am B7 Em So send me off to bed for ever more [Verse 3] Just make sure she's all in calico Am In the color of a doll B7 Wave the flag on Cadillac day Em And a skillet on the wall Cut me a switch Am Or hold your breath till the sun goes down B7 Write my name on the hood Em Send me off to another town [Chorus] Am Let me fall out of the window B7 With confetti in my hair Em Deal out Jacks or better Am On a blanket by the stairs B7 I’ll tell you all my secrets Em But I lie about my past Am B7 Em So send me off to bed for ever more Am Let me fall out of the window B7 With confetti in my hair Em Deal out Jacks or better Am On a blanket by the stairs B7 I’ll tell you all my secrets Em But I lie about my past Am B7 Em So send me off to bed for ever more Fade
