A Little Rain Tab

A LITTLE RAIN  (Tom Waits/K. Brennan)  [guitar arrangment by AL#13]
(from a live version)

capo on 1st 


                                               
Where the Ice Man's mule...is parked outside the bar
                                                     
Where a man with missing fingers...plays a strange guitar
                                                
And the German dwarf...dances with the butcher's son
                                  
Tonight a little rain never hurt no one

                                                      
They're dancing on the roof...and the ceiling's coming down
                                             
And I sleep with my shovel...and my leather gloves
                                         
And a little trouble...makes it worth the going
                                  
Tonight a little rain never hurt no one

                                   
Oh the world is round...so I'll go around
                            
You must risk something that matters
                                          
Oh my hands are strong...I'll take any man here
                                        
If it's worth the going...it's worth the ride

                                             
She was 15 years old...and she never seen the ocean
                                    
She climbed into a van...with a vagabond
                                           
And the last thing she said was "I love you mom."
                                  
Tonight a little rain never hurt no one
                              
And a little rain never hurt no one
