Subject: TAB: Telephone Call From Istanbul by Tom Waits


This is the tab/chrords for the _Big Time_  version of...

Telephone Call From Istanbul    Tom Waits

(The FWY  version is either a 1/2 step up or down, i can't remember,
	this one is in the key of Fm)

the chords:

         Verse                            Chorus
  
      Fm    Bbm     C          Bbm7   Eb      Ab    Bbm*    C     Fm*
 e  --x--  --6--  --x--       --6--  --x--  --x--  --9--  --8--  --8--
 B  --9--  --6--  --8--       --6--  --6--  --9--  -11--  --8--  --9--
 G  -10--  --6--  --9--       --6--  --8--  --8--  -10--  --9--  -10--
 D  -10--  --8--  -10--       --6--  --8--  -10--  -11--  -10--  -10--
 A  --8--  --8--  -10--       --x--  --8--  -11--  --x--  -10--  --8--
 E  --x--  --6--  --x--       --6--  --x--  --x--  --x--  --8--  --8--
                                T                    
                                 
i like to play the verse chords with as many fingers as i can. (does 
that make any sense?) i think it allows for a more controled muting.  
it also sounds good to barre them.  of course it also sounds goo to playy 
the bass part of the verses.

it goes like this:

   Fm                Bbm               C                 Fm

e|------------------|-----------------|-----------------|------------------|
B|------------------|-----------------|-----------------|------------------|
G|------------------|-----------------|-----------------|------------------|
D|------------------|-------3-------3-|-------5-------5-|------------------|
A|-------3--------3-|-1-3/4---1-3/4---|-3-5/7---3-5/7---|-------3--------3-|
E|-1-3/4----1-3/4---|-----------------|-----------------|-1-3/4----1-3/4---|

      	repeat that a couple times

	(words: [Fm]all ..
	        [Bbm]living ..
	        [C]mediteromainian ..
	        [Fm]sprawled ...
		etc...)


the chorus is like this:

		[Bbm7]sell ..
		[Eb]get ...
		[Ab]never ..
		[Ab]never ..
		
		[Bm*]Saturday's ..
		[C]dye ..
		[Fm*]follow ...
		[Fm*]i just ..

for the last two Fm chords, i like to play this:
(these are straight quarter notes)

   Fm*                          Fm*
e|---------------------------|-----------------
B|---------------------------|-----------------
G|-10--10--9--9--8--8--7--7--|--6--6--5--5--4---   now solo over the verse
D|-10--10--9--9--8--8--7--7--|--6--6--5--5--4---   chords: Fm, Bbm, C, Fm

i guess that's about everything...
have fun jamming, this is a wonderful song to improvise over.

any questions,comments,corrections,flames,stories,points of view or otherwise

 and also...   sorry if some of words are mixed up or spelled wrong, this 
all from memory.

and if you've never heard the Big Time album it's worth buying for this 
song alone (to say nothing of Raindogs!)
