Tom Waits – Poor Edward chords

Poor Edward by Tom Waits
Transcribed by Johan Jeppsson

Standard tuning
Capo on 1st fret

Tom sings this ridicously low. If you want to transpose it, you could use this table:
Em -> Am
B7 -> E7
Am -> Dm
E  -> A


        Em                  B7Did you hear the news about Edward?


       Em          Am   On the back of his head 
B7     Emhe had another face
E        AmWas it a woman's face 
           B7or a young girl?


             Em              AmThey said to remove it would kill him
                   B7So poor Edward was doomed


                Em       AmThat face could laugh and cry
B7         EmIt was his devil twin
E            AmAt night she spoke to him
                     B7Things heard only in hell


          Em            AmThey were impossible to separate
                     B7Chained together for life


            Em              Am   Finally the bell tolled his doom
B7        EmHe took a suite of rooms
E        AmAnd hung himself and her 
                 B7from the balcony irons


           Em             AmSome still believe he was freed from her
                   B7But I knew her too well
          Em           AmI say she drove him to suicide
                        B7And took poor Edward to hell 


(It's nice to disolve the dominant (B7) with the tonic (Em) here at the end)
